Abstract

An audio processor is disclosed which includes circuitry for modifying pure left and right audio signals by blending the left audio signal with the right audio signal as a function of frequency and for rolling off the higher frequencies of the blended signal. The processor further includes circuitry for selecting complementary portions of a blended, rolled-off audio signal and a pure audio signal as a function of the RF carrier strength to improve the overall listenability of the audio.
