Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009115299A1] A device (100) for the acoustic indication of a position of an object (200) in a playback room (210), in the reproduction room (210) a plurality of speakers (220) being disposed in spatially different positions such that as a result of the different actuation of the speakers (220) different spatial positions can be acoustically represented, comprises a signal association unit (110) and a speaker actuation unit (120). The signal association unit (110) is configured to associate an acoustic signal with the object (200). The speaker actuation unit (120) is configured to determine one or more speaker signals (LS) for the plurality of speakers (220), wherein the one or more speaker signals (LS) by which the position of the object (200) is indicated are based on the acoustic signals associated with the object (200) by the signal association unit (110). The one or more speaker signals (LS) can be determined in that upon reproduction of the one or more speaker signals (LS) the position of the object (200) is acoustically indicated in the reproduction room (210).
