Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a multi-channel audio signal correction capable of preventing an increase in the number of steps for installing a speaker or/and an amplifier, which is/are connected to a multi-channel audio reproduction apparatus. The multi-channel audio signal correction device 3 transmits a predetermined measurement signal to a speaker module 2 connected through a network 4 to the multi-channel audio signal correction device 3 and receives a sound output from the speaker module 2. The multi-channel audio signal correction device 3 measures a propagation delay time of each of the received sounds and estimates the position of a speaker 21 provided in the target speaker module 2, in accordance with each of the measured propagation delay times. The multi-channel audio signal correction device 3 assigns an output channel to the target speaker module 2 in accordance with the estimated position of the speaker 21. The multi-channel audio signal correction device 3 generates a correction value used to correct an output of the target speaker module 2 and transmits the correction value to the target speaker module 2.
