Abstract
An apparatus for reproducing a spatially extended sound source having a defined position and geometry in a space includes an interface for receiving a listener position; a projector for calculating a projection of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional hull associated with the spatially extended sound source onto a projection plane using the listener position, information on the geometry of the spatially extended sound source, and information on the position of the spatially extended sound source; a sound position calculator for calculating positions of at least two sound sources for the spatially extended sound source using the projection plane; and a renderer for rendering the at least two sound sources at the positions to obtain a reproduction of the spatially extended sound source having two or more output signals, wherein the renderer is configured to use different sound signals for the different positions.
