The invention relates to digitally filtering stereo data
to increase the quality of the audio information in an
efficient manner.
Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. An apparatus for recursively filtering in
parallel digital audio information, comprising:
(a) means for receiving digital audio
information, having a first set of digital
signals for a first channel and a second set of
digital signals for a second channel;
(b) means for receiving filter coefficients;
(c) means for recursively filtering the audio
information connected to said means for
receiving digital audio information and said
means for receiving filter coefficients, said
means for recursively filtering including means
