An audio processing device includes: a first low-pass filter (LPF) to which an audio signal is input; a circuit to which the audio signal is input, including a first high-pass filter (HPF) and a preamplifier; a second HPF to which the audio signal is input; a second LPF to which an output signal of the circuit is input; an extractor, extracting each of an output signal of the first LPF, an output signal of the second HPF, and an output signal of the second LPF at a predetermined ratio; and a mixer, mixing the output signal of the first LPF, the output signal of the second HPF, and the output signal of the second LPF that are extracted.

A sound controlling system including a user terminal having a sound source, a wireless communication device, a digital to analog converter (DAC) and first processing electronics. The first processing electronics are configured to: provide data of a backing sound to the sound source; control the sound source to generate a sound signal based on the data; receive a first input instruction including a first instruction to transmit the sound signal and a second instruction to play back the backing sound; provide the sound signal to the wireless communication device as the first input instruction being the first instruction, and provide the sound signal to the DAC as being the second instruction; control the wireless communication device to convert the sound signal to a wireless signal and transmit the wireless signal; and convert the sound signal from a digital signal to an analog signal for play back of the backing sound.
