Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2485504A1] The method involves determining a desired wave field in a listening zone by using a spatial window function i.e. rectangular function, for forming wave-free sections on a wave field to be playback. Spatial folding of a spectrum of the wave field to be playback with the window function is performed in a spatial frequency region. Control signals for a loudspeaker are determined by a higher-order-ambisonics-method and a spectral division method for producing the desired wave field in the listening zone. The control signals are supplied to the loudspeaker. The desired wave field is band-limited. An independent claim is also included for a device for playback of an acoustic wave field in a listening zone.
