Abstract

A signal processing device 1 includes an expansion coefficient calculation unit 11 that, from an outward sound field to be reproduced, calculates a spherical harmonics expansion coefficient for reproducing the sound field; an expansion coefficient conversion unit 12 that converts the calculated spherical harmonics expansion coefficient into a weight factor for superposition of multipole sources; a filter coefficient calculation unit 13 that, from the weight factor, calculates a filter coefficient corresponding to each speaker included in a multipole speaker array, the speaker providing output outwardly; and a convolution operation unit 14 that convolves the filter coefficient corresponding to each speaker into an input acoustic signal to calculate an output acoustic signal for each speaker.
