DOWNMIXER AND METHOD FOR DOWNMIXING AT LEAST TWO CHANNELS AND MULTICHANNEL ENCODER AND MULTICHANNEL DECODER.

摘要

A downmixer for downmixing at least two channels of a multichannel signal (12) having the two or more channels, comprises: a processor (10) for calculating a partial downmix signal (14) from the at least two channels; a complementary signal calculator (20) for calculating a complementary signal from the multichannel signal (12), the complementary signal (22) being different from the partial downmix signal (14); and an adder (30) for adding the partial downmix signal (14) and the complementary signal (22) to obtain a downmix signal (40) of the multichannel signal.
