Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for processing soundfield data, the soundfield data defining a soundfield within a spatial reproduction region comprising at least one bright zone and at least one quiet zone. The apparatus comprises an applicator configured to apply a spatially continuously varying weighting function to the soundfield data in order to obtain weighted soundfield data defining a weighted soundfield, wherein the spatially continuously varying weighting function is configured to enhance the soundfield in at least one of the bright zone and the quiet zone.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claims 4 , wherein the acoustical contrast between the bright zone and the quiet zone is based on the following equation: \u03f5 \ue8a0 ( t ) = 10 \ue89e \ue89e log 10 \ue89e \u222b b \ue89e | S \ue8a0 ( x , t ) \ue89e w \ue8a0 ( x ) \ue89e \u2191 2 \ue89e dx \ue89e / \ue89e D b \u222b q \ue89e | S \ue8a0 ( x , t ) \ue89e w \ue8a0 ( x ) \ue89e | 2 \ue89e dx \ue89e / \ue89e D q , wherein \u03f5(t) denotes the acoustical contrast as a function of time, S(x,t) denotes the soundfield data defining the soundfield as a function of space and time, w(x) denotes the spatially continuously varying weighting function and D b  and D q  denote the size of the bright region and the size of the quiet region, respectively.
