Abstract
An audio enhancement system and method (10) for use receives a group of multi-channel audio signals (18) and provides a simulated surround sound environment through playback of only two output signals (26 and 28). The multi-channel audio signals (18) comprise a pair of front signals intended for playback from a forward sound stage and a pair of rear signals intended for playback from a rear sound stage. The front and rear signals are modified in pairs by a multi-channel audio immersion processor (24). The multi-channel audio immersion processor (24) separates an ambient component of each pair of signals from a direct component and processing at least some of the components with a head-related transfer function.
Processing of the individual audio signal components is determined by an intended playback position of the corresponding original audio signals. The individual audio signal components are then selectively combined with the original audio signals to form two enhanced output signals L OUT and R OUT for generating a surround sound experience upon playback.
