A method for automatic configuration of an audio reproduction system includes automatically determining that all loudspeakers are connected to the network, determining the number of loudspeakers which are disposed in the same room and which are part of the loudspeaker arrangement, automatically generating a representation of a virtual loudspeaker arrangement on a display according to the determined number, and sequentially, for each loudspeaker belonging to the loudspeaker arrangement, as an actual loudspeaker, generating a signal by the actual loudspeaker, receiving a user input characterizing a virtual loudspeaker, assigning the position of the characterized virtual loudspeaker to the actual loudspeakers and configuring audio signal processing for the actual loudspeaker according to its assigned position.
