Abstract

An apparatus and method for encoding/decoding a multi-channel signal may be provided. The apparatus of encoding a multi-channel signal may insert information about whether to encode a phase parameter indicating phase information of a plurality of channels, included in the multi-channel signal, in a bitstream of the multi-channel signal. The apparatus of decoding a multi-channel signal may determine whether to up-mix a mono signal using the phase parameter based on the information about whether to encode.
