1. An apparatus for generating an enhanced sound field description, comprising:
a sound field generator for generating a first sound field description with respect to a reference location, wherein the first sound field description comprises sound data only from sound sources located in a first volume around the reference location, and a second sound field description with respect to the reference location, wherein the second sound field description comprises sound data only from second sources located in a second volume around the reference location, the second volume being different from the first volume; and
a meta data generator for generating, as meta data relating to spatial information of the sound field, a spatial description of the first volume and/or the second volume,
wherein the first sound field description, the second sound field description, and the meta data constitute the enhanced sound field description.
