Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a device-specific room impulse response (DSRIR) describing an acoustic characteristic of a device and a room as received by the device includes: generating an at least first device-related transfer function (DRTF), wherein the at least first device related transfer function describes the acoustic characteristic of the device as received by the at least first microphone; generating a spatial room impulse response (SRIR), wherein the spatial room impulse response describes the acoustic characteristic of the room from at least one room sound source in the room and received at an at least one listening point in the room from at least one direction; and generating the device specific room impulse response (DSRIR) by combining the device related transfer function and the spatial room impulse response.
