Description

Sound channel transformation method and device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of sound channel conversion, and particularly relates to a sound channel conversion method and device.
Background
When listening to sound, people can distinguish the direction from which the sound is transmitted, so as to roughly determine the position of the sound source. For example, when there is a sound source in the front right, the sound is first transmitted to the right ear and then to the left ear because the right ear is closer to the sound source, and the sound heard by the right ear is slightly stronger than the sound heard by the left ear. If the sound source emits sound at a high frequency, a part of the sound transmitted to the left ear is reflected back by the head, and thus the sound is not easily heard by the left ear. This slight difference in the sensation of sound by the two ears, transmitted to the brain nerves, enables us to judge that the sound is coming from the front right. This is commonly referred to as the "binaural effect".
A typical recording is monophonic, such as a concert recording, where different instrument sounds from various aspects of the stage are received by a microphone or by several microphones and then mixed, synthesized into an audio current and recorded, and reproduced by a speaker. When listening to such a recording, only the synthesized sound of the instruments in different directions can be heard, but it is not possible to distinguish which instrument sound is coming from which direction, and the person cannot feel the stereoscopic sense of space as when listening to music in a concert hall.
If the spatial positions of different sound sources can be reflected during recording, people can listen to the recording as if listening to sound of the sound sources in all aspects personally and directly. The sound reproduction system reproduces stereoscopic sound, namely stereo sound, in which a left channel and a right channel can respectively play the same or different sound, and generates a stereo sound variation effect from left to right or from right to left.
At present, the left and right channel outputs are fixedly connected with the loudspeaker box, the left channel output is fixedly connected with the left loudspeaker box, and similarly, the right channel output is fixedly connected with the right loudspeaker box. However, when the left loudspeaker box is placed on the right side of the listener or the right loudspeaker box is placed on the left side of the listener in a wrong position, the left and right sound channels heard by the listener can be exchanged, and user experience is affected. In addition, it is inconvenient for the user to adjust the position of the audio device which is dislocated, and it is more difficult for a part of the fixed audio device or the large audio device to be displaced.
