Abstract
A method is disclosed, which comprises receiving a plurality of audio signals representing audio from respective audio sources in a space; defining for each audio source a spatial audio field indicative of the propagation of its audio signals within the space. For a first audio source is defined a restricted zone within its spatial audio field. A first control signal may be received for changing the spatial audio field of a second audio source so that said spatial audio field is moved towards, and overlaps part of the restricted zone of the first audio source. Responsive to the first control signal, the method may comprise changing the spatial audio field of the second audio source so that there is no overlap with the restricted zone.
