Method of capturing an audio scene, comprising: acquiring sound having a first directivity to obtain a first acquisition signal; acquiring sound having a second directivity to obtain a second acquisition signal, wherein the first directivity is higher than the second directivity, wherein the steps of acquiring (200, 202) are performed simultaneously, and wherein both acquisition signals together represent the audio scene; and: separately storing the first and the second acquisition signals; or mixing individual channels in the first acquisition signal to obtain a first mixed signal, mixing individual channels in the second acquisition signal to obtain a second mixed signal and separately storing the first and the second mixed signal, or transmitting the first and the second mixed signals to a loudspeaker setup, or rendering the first mixed signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a first directivity and simultaneously rendering the second mixed signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a second directivity, wherein the second loudspeaker directivity is lower than the first loudspeaker directivity; or 20 transmitting the first and the second acquisition signals to a loudspeaker setup; or rendering the first acquisition signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a first directivity and simultaneously rendering the second acquisition signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a second directivity, wherein the second loudspeaker directivity is lower than the first loudspeaker directivity, wherein the step of acquiring the sound having the first directivity comprises placing a first set of microphones between places for sound sources and places for listeners or directing a first set of directed microphones so that a maximum sensitivity is directed to the audio scene and acquiring microphone signals from the first set as the first acquisition signal; and wherein the step of acquiring the sound having a second directivity comprises placing a second set of microphones lateral or above the places for the sound sources, where microphone signals from the second set are the second acquisition signal. acquiring sound having a first directivity to obtain a first acquisition signal; acquiring sound having a second directivity to obtain a second acquisition signal, wherein the first directivity is higher than the second directivity, wherein the steps of acquiring (200, 202) are performed simultaneously, and wherein both acquisition signals together represent the audio scene; and: separately storing the first and the second acquisition signals; or mixing individual channels in the first acquisition signal to obtain a first mixed signal, mixing individual channels in the second acquisition signal to obtain a second mixed signal and separately storing the first and the second mixed signal, or transmitting the first and the second mixed signals to a loudspeaker setup, or rendering the first mixed signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a first directivity and simultaneously rendering the second mixed signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a second directivity, wherein the second loudspeaker directivity is lower than the first loudspeaker directivity; or 20 transmitting the first and the second acquisition signals to a loudspeaker setup; or rendering the first acquisition signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a first directivity and simultaneously rendering the second acquisition signal using a loudspeaker arrangement having a second directivity, wherein the second loudspeaker directivity is lower than the first loudspeaker directivity, wherein the step of acquiring the sound having the first directivity comprises placing a first set of microphones between places for sound sources and places for listeners or directing a first set of directed microphones so that a maximum sensitivity is directed to the audio scene and acquiring microphone signals from the first set as the first acquisition signal; and wherein the step of acquiring the sound having a second directivity comprises placing a second set of microphones lateral or above the places for the sound sources, where microphone signals from the second set are the second acquisition signal.
