Abstract
An apparatus generating a sound field description includes an input signal analyzer acquiring diffuseness data from the input signal; a sound component generator for generating, from the input signal, one or more sound field components of a first group of sound field components comprising for each sound field component a direct component and a diffuse component, and for generating, from the input signal, a second group of sound field components comprising only a direct component. The sound component generator is configured to perform an energy compensation when generating the first group of sound field components, the energy compensation depending on the diffuseness data and at least one of a number of sound field components in the second group, a number of diffuse components in the first group, a maximum order of sound field components of the first group and a maximum order of sound field components of the second group.
