Abstract:
The present technology relates to a sound reproducing apparatus and method, and a program that enable sound reproduction with high sound quality and excellent directivity characteristics at lower costs.A sound reproducing apparatus includes: an amplification unit that amplifies an acoustic signal; a plurality of electroacoustic transducers that output sound in accordance with the acoustic signal output from the amplification unit, the electroacoustic transducers having characteristics of a capacitive load; and a switching unit that switches connections of the electroacoustic transducers to the amplification unit, to connect one or a plurality of electroacoustic transducers among the plurality of electroacoustic transducers to the amplification unit. The present technology can be applied to a sound reproducing apparatus, for example.
