Abstract
An audio apparatus and method employ a first renderer circuit, wherein the first renderer circuit is arranged to render audio elements by generating a first set of audio signals for a set of loudspeakers; and a second renderer circuit, wherein the second renderer circuit is arranged to render audio elements by generating a second set of audio signals for headphones, and select between the first renderer circuit and the second renderer circuit such that the rendering of at least a first part of a first audio element is in response to a first audio rendering property indicator which is received in an audio signal. The first audio rendering property indicator is indicative of whether the first part of the first audio element should be rendered via the loudspeakers, or rendered via the headphones.
