<p>A sound image localizer in which the sound volume of a sound image localizing signal is not lowered, clipping is prevented, and the component for sound image localization included in the sound image localization signal is not degraded. The sound image localizer comprises a frequency component analyzing section (104) for analyzing the frequency component obtained from a sound source signal, a frequency component analyzing section (103) for analyzing the frequency component obtained from a head transfer function corresponding to a target position, a frequency component comparing/correcting section (105) for comparing the frequency component obtained from the analyzed sound source signal and the frequency component obtained from the head transfer function and judging whether or not clipping occurs in a specific frequency band, a sound image localization processing section (106) for outputting a sound localization signal having an amplitude component corresponding to the specific frequency band of the sound source signal or the head transfer function is suppressed to a sound reproducing device if the frequency component comparing/correcting section (105) judges that clipping occurs.</p> |
