Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9920077A1] A sound reproducing device for multiple channel sound reproduction has at least three sound transducers (10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 30) driven each by an electric signal and a holder (2) that carries the sound transducers and can be mounted on the body of the user. The holder (2) is designed in such a way that it can be mounted on a part (20) of the body of the user other than the head (22), placing the sound transducers (10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 30) next to each other and at such a distance from the head (22) of the user that the head (22) of the user remains free to move relative to the holder (2) and therefore relative to the sound transducers (10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 30). The holder carries an electronic circuit for processing the electric signals.
