Abstract
A method for controlling a three-dimensional multi-layer speaker arrangement having a plurality of speakers arranged in spaced layers. The method includes: providing information for a sound to be played back from a 3D source position assigned to the sound, wherein the source position is defined with respect to a reference point (RP) within the multi-layer speaker arrangement, extracting a 3D source position (SP) from the source position and calculating layer specific speaker coefficients using a 2D calculator to position the sound two dimensional source position, and feeding a vertical pan or 3D source position into a multilayer calculator for obtaining a layer gain factor for each layer for obtaining speaker coefficients used as individual gains enabling the speakers to play back the sound.
