Some methods involve receiving, by a control system configured for implementing a plurality of Tenderers, audio data and listening configuration data for a plurality of listening configurations, each listening configuration of the plurality of listening configurations corresponding to a listening position and a listening orientation in an audio environment, and rendering, by each Tenderer and according to the listening configuration data, the received audio data to obtain a set of Tenderer-specific loudspeaker feed signals for a corresponding listening configuration. Each Tenderer may be configured to render the audio data for a different listening configuration. Some such methods may involve decomposing each set of renderer-specific loudspeaker feed signals into a Tenderer-specific set of frequency bands and combining the renderer-specific frequency bands of each Tenderer to produce an output set of loudspeaker feed signals. Some such methods may involve outputting the output set of loudspeaker feed signals to a plurality of loudspeakers.

The present invention relates to methods for generating a conversion filter (KF) for converting a multidimensional original audio signal (AA) into a two-dimensional listening audio signal (HA), comprising the following steps: 1. Transformation of a time-based original audio signal (PAA) into a frequency-based original audio signal (FAA) 2. Sequential optimization of a basis conversion matrix (BKM) for converting the frequency-based original audio signal (FAA) into a frequency-based listening audio signal (FHA) using a first optimization algorithm (KA1), preferably starting from low frequencies and ascending at least up to a switching frequency (UF) 3. Sequential optimization of the basis conversion matrix (BKM) for converting the frequency-based original audio signal (FAA) into a frequency-based listening audio signal (FHA) using a second optimization algorithm (KA2), preferably starting from the switching frequency (UF) and ascending to high frequencies 4. Storing the optimized basis conversion matrix (BKM) of the correlation between the frequency-based original audio signal (FAA) and the frequency-based listening audio signal (FHA) in a frequency-based conversion matrix (FKM) 5. Transforming the frequency-based conversion matrix (FKM) into a time-based conversion matrix (PKM) as a conversion filter (KF).
