Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for processing an audio signal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for efficiently rendering a higher order ambisonics signal. To this end, provided are an audio signal processing apparatus, including: a pre-processor configured to separate an input audio signal into a first component corresponding to at least one object signal and a second component corresponding to a residual signal and extract position vector information corresponding to the first component from the input audio signal; a first rendering unit configured to perform an object-based first rendering on the first component using the position vector information; and a second rendering unit configured to perform a channel-based second rendering on the second component and an audio signal processing method using the same.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the second rendering is a channel-based binaural rendering, and wherein the second rendering unit maps the second component to at least one virtual channel and performs the second rendering using an HRTF based on the mapped virtual channel.
