Abstract

A signal processing method transforms X input signals into M output signals. The method includes applying a decorrelation filter to the X input signals so as to generate N decorrelated signals ei; and for each decorrelated signal ei determined, generating N delayed signals ei,k by applying a delay τk and a gain gk to each decorrelated signal ei, the delays τk and the gains gk being chosen. For each decorrelated signal ei, the delayed signals ei,k simulate a propagation of the decorrelated signal in a virtual space. The virtual space has N virtual loudspeakers and a virtual listening position that are distributed according to a predetermined geometry. For each value of k, summing the delayed signals ei,k: Ek=Σi=1Nei,k; and determining M output signals, each output signal resulting from a linear combination of the N sums of the delayed signals Ek.
