Abstract:
1. A method of processing sound information representing a position of a sound relative to an x-axis, a y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis, and a z-axis perpendicular to the x-axis and the y-axis, the method comprising: using a decoder for receiving X encoding information representing a position component of the sound along the x-axis, wherein the X encoding information includes information related to a position of the sound along the z-axis; using the decoder for receiving Y encoding information representing a position component of the sound along the y-axis, wherein the Y encoding information includes information related to a position of the sound along the z-axis; using a high pass filter for high pass filtering the sound information when the position of the sound is above a first position along the z-axis; and using a low pass filter for low pass filtering the sound information when the position of the sound is below the first position along the z-axis.
