Audio reproduction characteristics control device

An audio reproduction characteristics control device comprising:

• frequency response characteristic correction parameter memory means for prestoring frequency response characteristic correction parameters for correcting a frequency response characteristic of a given reproduction environment to a standard frequency response characteristic or other predetermined frequency response characteristic;
• reflected sound characteristic parameter memory means for prestoring reflected sound characteristic parameters for a plurality of sound fields to be reproduced;
• reproduction characteristics control means for imparting a predetermined frequency response characteristic and a predetermined reflected sound characteristic to an input source signal;
• reproduction environment designation means for designating an environment in which a sound is reproduced;
• reproduced sound field designation means for designating a sound field to be reproduced;
• parameter selection means for selecting a frequency response characteristic correction parameter from said frequency response characteristic correction parameter memory means in accordance with either or both of the reproduction environment designated by said reproduction environment designation means and with the designated sound field to be reproduced, and also for selecting a reflected sound characteristic parameter from said reflected sound characteristic parameter memory means in accordance with the sound field to be reproduced designated by said reproduced sound field designation means thereby to supply the selected parameters to said reproduction characteristics control means.
