PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable reproducing speech and ambient signals in a spatially different way at a rendering side.SOLUTION: A speech capturing device 100 has a capturing circuit 110 for capturing a plurality of sound signals 111 to 116 by microphones 101 to 106. Extracting circuits 121 to 124 derive speech signals 151 to 154 corresponding to a respective speaker, and has a residual extracting circuit 130 for deriving a plurality of ambient signals 131. Both the one or more speech signals 151 to 154 and the one or more ambient signals 131 are transmitted to a rendering side, as opposed to sending only speech signals.
