Controllable playback system offering hierarchical playback options
Abstract:
A first apparatus performs the following: determining, using microphone signals corresponding to a left microphone signal from a left microphone and a right microphone signal from a right microphone and using at least one further microphone signal, directional information of the left and right microphone signals corresponding to a location of a sound source; outputting a first signal corresponding to the left microphone signal; outputting a second signal corresponding to the right microphone signal; and outputting a third signal corresponding to the determined directional information. A second apparatus performs the following: determining, using microphone signals corresponding to a left microphone signal from a left microphone and a right microphone signal from a right microphone and using at least one further microphone signal, directional information of the left and right microphone signals corresponding to a location of a sound source; converting the left microphone signal, the right microphone signal and the directional information into a high quality left microphone signal and a high quality right microphone signal; and outputting a first signal corresponding to the high quality left microphone signal; and outputting a second signal corresponding to the high quality right microphone signal. Additional apparatus, program products, and methods are disclosed.
