Generally the invention description used for the technique of error in compensation sound site and by decomposing expression. According to the technique one comprising one or more of a processor and device can by equipped with quantization represents one or one or more of the first vector of multi-component and sound site and and due to compensation for the one or more of the first vector and the quantization but too represents the sound of the same site or one of one or more of the second vector of multi-component of the induce error in.

In general techniques are described for compensating for error in decomposed representations of sound fields. In accordance with the techniques a device comprising one or more processors may be configured to quantize one or more first vectors representative of one or more components of a sound field and compensate for error introduced due to the quantization of the one or more first vectors in one or more second vectors that are also representative of the same one or more components of the sound field.
