The speaker 11LP is driven by the left ear signal SL including the low frequency component and the middle and high frequency component for stereophonic reproduction (virtual surround). The speaker 11RP is driven by the right ear signal SR including the low frequency component and the middle and high frequency component for the stereophonic reproduction (virtual surround).
The signal processor 14LH processes the middle and high frequency component SLH obtained by the high-pass filter 15LH and generate the reversed-phase signal SLH′ with an adjusted level in such a manner that the speakers 11LP and 11SA reproduce the middle and high frequencies of the left ear signal with unidirectional directivity as indicated by a dash-dotted line. Note that, to simplify the drawing, the unidirectional directivity of the middle and high frequencies of the right ear signal reproduced by the speakers 11RP and 11SB (to be described later) are not illustrated.
