Abstract
An audio signal processing method and circuitry that processes an input audio signal by filtering the input audio signal with a high pass filter to produce a filtered audio signal, which is input to a compressor. A first intermediate audio signal is produced based on the compressor output signal. The filtered audio signal is also input to a harmonics generator that produces harmonics of the filtered audio signal. A second intermediate audio signal is produced based on such harmonics. A third intermediate signal is produced based upon the input audio signal. An output audio signal is produced by combining the first intermediate audio signal, the second intermediate audio signal and the third intermediate audio signal. The compressor can be configured to reduce the dynamic range of components of the filtered audio signal that contribute to the first intermediate audio signal relative to the dynamic range of the harmonics that contribute to the second intermediate audio signal, thus enhancing the input audio signal.
