Abstract: A method for conveying to a listener a directionality-preserving pseudo low frequency psycho-acoustic sensation of a multichannel sound signal, including: deriving from the sound signal, by a processing unit, a high frequency multichannel signal and a low frequency multichannel signal, generating a multichannel harmonic signal, the loudness of at least one channel signal of the multichannel harmonic signal substantially matching the loudness of a corresponding channel in the low frequency multichannel signal; and at least one interaural level difference (ILD) of at least one frequency of the at least one channel pair of the multichannel harmonic signal substantially matching an ILD of a corresponding fundamental frequency in a corresponding channel pair in the low frequency multichannel signal; and summing the harmonic multichannel signal and the high frequency multichannel signal thereby giving rise to a psychoacoustic alternative signal.
