Abstract
An audio reproducing apparatus including first and second audio signal transmission paths each applied with a plurality of audio signals. Each of the first and second audio signal transmission paths has a selector for selecting one of the plurality of audio signals supplied thereto and a level controller for controlling the level of the selected audio signal. The first and second audio signal transmission paths are connected to first and second speaker units respectively each for converting the audio signal selected by the corresponding selector and whose level is controlled by the corresponding level controller into acoustic power.
Claims25
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of input audio signal lines, an input audio signal line of said plurality of input audio signal lines supplying an input audio signal;
- a first input audio switch, said first audio switch receiving said plurality of input audio signal lines, said first audio switch selecting one of said plurality of input audio signal lines as a first intermediate audio signal;
- a second input audio switch, said second audio switch receiving said plurality of input audio signal lines, said second audio switch selecting one of said plurality of input audio signal lines as a second intermediate audio signal;
- a first intermediate audio switch, said first intermediate audio switch receiving said first intermediate audio signal and an input terminal signal, said first intermediate audio switch selecting one of said first intermediate audio signal and said input terminal signal as a first selected audio signal;
- a second intermediate audio switch, said second intermediate audio switch receiving said second intermediate audio signal and said input terminal signal, said second intermediate audio switch selecting one of said second intermediate audio signal and said input terminal signal as a second selected audio signal;
- at least one first audio transducer in a first location, a first audio transducer of said at least one first audio transducer converting said first selected audio signal into sound;
- and
- at least one second audio transducer in a second location, said second location being partitioned from said first location.
