Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for rendering a spatial audio signal, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive the spatial audio signal, wherein the spatial audio signal includes position information for rendering audio;
a first processor configured to process the spatial audio signal to determine a plurality of weights based on the position information,
a renderer configured to render the spatial audio signal to form a plurality of rendered signals, wherein the plurality of rendered signals are amplitude weighted according to the plurality of weights; and
a second processor configured to combine the plurality of rendered signals into a joint rendered signal and determine metadata that relates the joint rendered signal to the plurality of rendered signals, wherein the second processor is configured to provide the joint rendered signal and the metadata to a loudspeaker system.
