Abstract

To realize a stereo signal processing apparatus which effectively removes vocal signals, without degradation of stereo effect, with a simple construction.The stereo signal processing apparatus, which removes vocal signals included in right and left input signals, comprises right filter means 121, 122 for extracting a right low-frequency signal and a right high-frequency signal from a right input signal, left filter means 111 and 112 for extracting a left low-frequency signal and a left high-frequency signal from a left input signal, subtraction means 131 for performing subtraction between the right input signal and the left input signal to generate a vocal removal signal, right addition means 123 for adding the right low-frequency signal and the right high-frequency signal from said right filter means to the vocal removal signal from said subtraction means so as to generate a right output signal, a left addition means 113 for adding the left low-frequency signal and the left high-frequency signal from said left filter means to the vocal removal signal from said subtraction means so as to generate a left output signal. The right filter means and the left filter means comprise filter…
