A sound system is disclosed which, in common with earlier phase-amplitude multichannel "matrix" encode-decode systems, conveys or stores audio programs having multidirectional sound-source localization in a pair of audio-bandwidth channels, whether analog or digital. In the present invention, representation of a vertical, height dimension is added by mapping the "phase-amplitude sphere" representing signal separation onto a spatial hemisphere and by introducing to the parameters of phase difference and amplitude ratio a third parameter, decorrelation. Non-complementary matrices are used for encoding and decoding to provide improved separation between decoded signals. A radius-scaling function facilitates encoding of sound source locations outside, as well as within, the boundaries of the audience space defined by the peripheral and overhead loudspeaker locations.
