Abstract: Systems and methods for spatially emulating a sound source. An apparatus includes a microphone array including microphones; and a sound profiler communicatively connected to the microphone array, the sound profiler including a processing circuitry and a memory which contains instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the apparatus to: generate synthesized audio based on sound beam metadata, a sound profile, and target listener location data, wherein the sound beam metadata includes timed sound beams defining a directional dependence of a spatial sound wave, wherein the sound profile includes timed sound coefficients determined based on audio signals captured in a space wherein the target listener location data includes a position and an orientation, wherein the synthesized audio emulates sound that would be heard by a listener at the position and orientation of the target listener location data; and providing the synthesized audio for projection.
