    Abstract: The disclosure is based on the finding that acoustic near-field transfer functions indicating acoustic near-field propagation channels between loudspeakers and ears of a listener can be employed to pre-process audio signals. Therefore, acoustic near-field distortions of the audio signals can be mitigated. The pre-processed audio signals can be presented to the listener using a wearable frame, wherein the wearable frame comprises the loudspeakers for audio presentation. The disclosure can allow for a high quality rendering of audio signals as well as a high listening comfort for the listener. The disclosure can provide the following advantages. By means of a loudspeaker selection as a function of a spatial audio source direction, cues related to the listener's ears can be generated, making the approach more robust with regard to front/back confusion. The approach can further be extended to an arbitrary number of loudspeaker pairs.

    Abstract: A digital compressor for compressing an input audio signal is presented. The digital compressor comprises a compression gain control for providing a compression gain parameter, and a compression parameter determiner for determining a compression ratio from the compression gain parameter. The compression parameter determiner may be configured to weight the compression gain parameter by a predetermined weight factor to obtain the compression ratio. The digital compressor further comprises an auxiliary signal generator for manipulating the input audio signal in dependence of the compression ratio to obtain a first auxiliary signal, and a combiner unit for combining the first auxiliary signal with the compression gain parameter to obtain a second auxiliary signal, and for combining the input audio signal with the second auxiliary signal to obtain the compressed audio signal.
