Abstract (en)

An apparatus for processing an input audio signal comprising multiple channels, the apparatus comprising: means for deriving, based on the input audio signal, a first signal component, comprising at least one input channel, and a second signal component, comprising multiple input channels, wherein the first signal component is dependent upon at least a first portion of a spatial audio image conveyed by the input audio signal, and the second signal component is dependent upon at least a second portion of the spatial audio image that is different to the first portion;cross-channel mixing means for cross-channel mixing of a plurality of input channels; means for directing the second signal component to the cross-channel mixing means for cross-channel mixing of at least some of the multiple input channels of the second signal component to produce a modified second signal component;bypass means for enabling the first signal component to bypass the cross-channel mixing means; andmeans for combining the first signal component and the modified second signal component into an output audio signal comprising two output channels configured for rendering by headphone apparatus.
