Abstract
The invention provides a layered audio coding format with a monophonic layer and at least one sound field layer. A plurality of audio signals is decomposed, in accordance with decomposition parameters controlling the quantitative properties of an orthogonal energy-compacting transform, into rotated audio signals. Further, a time-variable gain profile specifying constructively how the rotated audio signals may be processed to attenuate undesired audio content is derived. The monophonic layer may comprise one of the rotated signals and the gain profile. The sound field layer may comprise the rotated signals and the decomposition parameters. In one embodiment, the gain profile comprises a cleaning gain profile with the main purpose of eliminating non-speech components and/or noise. The gain profile may also comprise mutually independent broadband gains. Because signals in the audio coding format can be mixed with a limited computational effort, the invention may advantageously be applied in a tele-conferencing application.
