Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reproducing audio in a multi-channel sound system including two input signals (L and R), wherein output signals are generated for different sound perception levels. In order to develop said method in such a way that audio can be reproduced within a larger range of applications in a multi-channel sound system, according to the invention, only a lower sound perception level (7) and a higher sound perception level (6) are generated, and a maximum of six output signals are generated, a maximum of two output signals being allocated to the lower sound perception level (7) and a maximum of four output signals being allocated to the higher sound perception level (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing a multichannel sound in a multichannel sound system, wherein the input signals L and R are decoded, preferably as stereo signals. The aim of the invention is to develop the method such that a further improvement of the spatial reproduction of the input signals L and R is achieved on the basis of an extraction of direction components. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the signals R and L are decoded at least into two signals of the form nL-mR, in which n, m=1, 2, 3, 4.

Abstract: A method for multi-channel processing in a multi-channel sound system, in which a channel or a channel mixture is first split into individual channels, the individual channels are limited by setting the values of the parameters channel fader, threshold, release, and output level and then encoding the individual channels. At least two channels are compressed and/or limited with a uniform output level value in method step, one channel is provided with a deviating output level value, which is set, depending on the audio material to be processed, and every further channel is compressed and/or limited in such a manner that it has an output level value that is at least one decibel less than the uniform output level value. The individual channels are combined into an encoded (coded) channel by setting a value of at least one of the parameters channel fader, threshold, release, and output level.
