A device for a conference system and method for operation thereof is provided. The device is configured to receive a first audio signal and a first identifier associated with a first participant. The device is further configured to receive a second audio signal and a second identifier associated with a second participant. The device includes a filter configured to filter the received first audio signal and the received second audio signal and to output a filtered signal to a number of electroacoustic transducers. The device includes a control unit connected to the filter. The control unit is configured to control one or more first filter coefficients based on the first identifier and to control one or more second filter coefficients based on the second identifier. Preferably the device comprises a headtracker function for changing the first and second filter coefficients depending on tracking of head's position.
