Audio signal amplifying apparatus and distortion correcting method

An audio signal amplifying apparatus for transmitting plural amplified audio signals by that audio signals on plural channels were amplified respectively, to a speaker of said each channel via a ground wire used in common by each of the channels respectively, the audio signal amplifying apparatus comprising:

• an amplifier for amplifying said audio signal for every channel, and generating said amplified audio signal;
• current detecting means provided between said amplifier and a speaker of each channel, for respectively detecting the current waveforms of the amplified audio signals on which a distortion component was superimposed by an effect of the speaker and an effect from other channel via said ground wire when said amplified audio signals were transmitted from the amplifier to the speaker;
• distortion component calculating means for calculating said distortion component based on a difference between said current waveform and the signal waveform of said audio signal for every channel;
• and
• distortion correcting means for supplying an added result by that said distortion component was added to said audio signal for every channel to said amplifier.

A distortion correcting method in an audio signal amplifying apparatus that amplifies an audio signal by an amplifier and transmits the amplified signal to a speaker, the distortion correcting method in an audio signal amplifying apparatus comprising:

• the current detecting step of detecting the current waveform of said amplified audio signal on which a distortion component was superimposed by an effect of the speaker, before said audio signal that was amplified by said amplifier is supplied to said speaker;
• the distortion component calculating step of calculating said distortion component based on a difference between said current waveform and the signal waveform of said audio signal;
• and
• the distortion component adding step of supplying an added result by that said distortion component was added to said audio signal to said amplifier.
