Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for reproducing sound of a vehicle using a plurality of transducers (5). Therefore, a plurality of transducers driving signals (4) is calculated from at least one audio input signal (2) representing sound of a vehicle using transducers positioning data and sound field description data 8 associated to said audio input signal (2).
