    Abstract: A signal processing apparatus includes a signal processor configured to: generate a first noise reduction signal using an adaptive filter based on a signal output from a first input apparatus, and cause the generated first noise reduction signal to be output by a first output apparatus; and generate a second noise reduction signal using a feedback filter based on a signal output from a second input apparatus, and cause the generated second noise reduction signal to be output by a second output apparatus. The feedback filter has a fixed feedback coefficient. The first input apparatus is located at a first noise-cancellation target location in an environment, and the second input apparatus is located at a second noise-cancellation target location in the environment, which may be different from the first noise-cancellation target location.

    Abstract: [Object] To provide a sound processing device capable of effectively reducing ambient noise at low cost.[Solution] Provided is a sound processing device including: a first sound collector configured to collect a first noise signal from a noise source of noise leaking into a casing mounted to a user's ear; a first signal processing unit configured to form a first noise reduction signal used to reduce noise at a cancellation point on the basis of the first noise signal; a second signal processing unit configured to form a second noise reduction signal used to reduce noise at a cancellation point with respect to a first pseudo noise signal; an adder configured to add the first noise reduction signal and the second noise reduction signal; and a sound emitter configured to emit an output of the adder into the casing as sound. The first pseudo noise signal is a signal obtained by subtracting an output of the adder applied with a simulation transfer characteristic from an output of the first sound collector, the simulation transfer characteristic being obtained by simulating a transfer characteristic from the sound emitter to the first sound collector.

    Abstract: [Problem] To propose a mechanism capable of performing a noise cancellation process in an ear hole opening type audio processing device. [Solution] An audio processing device including: an audio information acquisition unit that acquires audio information; a holding unit that abuts on a cavum concha or an inner wall of an ear canal and holds the audio information acquisition unit in a space closer to an eardrum side than a tragus, in a state of being worn by a user; an opening portion that opens an ear hole to an outside; and a signal processing unit that generates a noise cancellation signal based on the audio information acquired by the audio information acquisition unit.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to reducing influence of crosstalk components by appropriately blocking a propagation path of the crosstalk components output from speakers that reproduce signals for right and left ears respectively.
    Provided is a contact member used in contact with a back and/or a back of a head of a listener. The contact member is installed with: a first speaker that reproduces a signal for the left ear and a second speaker that reproduces a signal for the right ear; and a propagation obstruction adapted to block a propagation path of crosstalk components output from the respective speakers.
