Abstract (en)

[origin: US8358091B2] An apparatus for generating a number of loudspeaker signals for a loudspeaker array defining a reproduction space includes a prestage configured to generate a plurality of output audio signals while using one or more audio signals associated with one or more virtual positions, each output audio signal being associated to a loudspeaker position such that the plurality of output audio signals together replicate a reproduction of the input audio signal(s) at the virtual position(s), and a number of output audio signals being smaller than a number of loudspeaker signals. The apparatus further includes a main stage configured to obtain the plurality of output audio signals and further to obtain, as a virtual position for each output audio signal, the loudspeaker positions, and to generate the number of loudspeaker signals for the loudspeaker array such that the loudspeaker positions are replicated as a virtual sources by the loudspeaker array.
