Abstract: A method and a device encode N audio signals, from N microphones where N≥3. For each pair of the N audio signals an angle of incidence of direct sound is estimated. A-format direct sound signals are derived from the estimated angles of incidence by deriving from each estimated angle an A-format direct sound signal. Each A-format direct sound signal is a first-order virtual microphone signal, for example, a cardioids signal.

Abstract: An input audio signal is separated into input audio signal components (X(k,b)). A set of two or more band branches provides output audio signal components (Y(k,b)). The set of band branches comprises one or more compressor branches Each compressor branch compresses a respective input audio signal component (X(k,b)) into a respective output audio signal component (Y(k,b)). A summed audio signal (y(t)) is generated by summing the output audio signal components (Y(k,b)). A residual audio signal (v(t)) is a difference between the input audio signal and the summed audio signal(y(t)) A virtual bass signal (w(t)) comprises one or more harmonics of the residual audio signal (v(t)). An output audio signal is generated by summing the summed audio signal (y(t)) and the virtual bass signal (w(t)).

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 translation: 本公开是基于以下发现：可以采用指示收听者的扬声器和耳朵之间的声学近场传播信道的声学近场传递函数来预处理音频信号。 因此，可以减轻音频信号的声学近场失真。 预处理的音频信号可以使用可穿戴的框架呈现给收听者，其中可穿戴的框架包括用于音频呈现的扬声器。 本公开可以允许音频信号的高质量渲染以及听众的高听觉舒适度。 本公开可以提供以下优点。 通过扬声器选择作为空间音频源方向的功能，可以产生与听众耳朵相关的线索，使得该方法在前/后混淆方面更加健壮。 该方法可以进一步扩展到任意数量的扬声器对。

Abstract: A device and method, respectively, obtain a first order ambisonic (FOA) signal from signals of multiple microphones, e.g., at least four or five directive microphones. The device and method determine a look direction of each microphone, and calculate a decoding matrix based on the determined look directions. The decoding matrix is a matrix suitable for decoding a FOA signal into the signals of the microphones. Further, the device and method invert the decoding matrix to obtain an encoding matrix, and encode the signals of the microphones based on the encoding matrix to obtain the FOA signal.
