Abstract
One embodiment provides a method comprising determining an actual elevation of a sound source. The actual elevation is indicative of a first location at which the sound source is physically located relative to a first listening reference point. The method further comprises determining a desired elevation for a portion of an audio signal. The desired elevation is indicative of a second location at which the portion of the audio signal is perceived to be physically located relative to the first listening reference point. The desired elevation is different from the actual elevation. The method further comprises, based on the actual elevation, the desired elevation and the first listening reference point, modifying the audio signal, such that the portion of the audio signal is perceived to be physically located at the desired elevation during reproduction of the audio signal via the sound source.
