Multi-channel reproducing apparatus and multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatus

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide multi-channel reproducing apparatuses and multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses that can be easily connected to one another. In the multi-channel reproducing apparatus 1, a DSP 6 converts an inputted audio signal to audio signals for a plurality of channels, adds channel identification information to each audio signal and multiplexes the audio signals to generate a multi-channel reproducing signal. The DSP 6 supplies the multi-channel reproducing signal to a plurality of multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses 201 to 20n that are dispersedly arranged. These multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses 201 to b 0n input the multi-channel reproducing signal from an input terminal 20a and output the signal to outside from an output terminal 20b. Each loudspeaker apparatuses 201 to 20n extracts and reproduces the audio signal of the channel assigned thereto from among the multi-channel reproducing signals inputted from a decoder 11 and outputs audio sound from a loudspeaker 16.
