Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1061774A2] An audio system comprises: a sound field processor that performs three-dimensional sound field process for a headphone to an input signal and outputs a processed signal; a loudspeaker output device that receives an input signal and outputs amplified signal to a loudspeaker; a headphone output device that receives either an input signal or the processed signal, outputs either said input signal or said processed signal as amplified signal to a headphone and is capable of being connected to said sound field processor: a headphone connector connected to said headphone output device; a headphone detector that is operably coupled to said headphone connector and detects whether a headphone is connected to said headphone connector or not; and a switch controller that is operably coupled to said headphone detector and said sound filed processor, and makes said sound field processor perform said three-dimensional sound field process for a headphone and supply the processed signal to said headphone output device when said headphone detector detects a headphone.
