The paper proposes an audio reproduction system based on the concept of wave field synthesis. This concept guarantees correct spatial and temporal sound field reproduction in a large listening area. The newly built reproduction system consists of several loudspeaker arrays fed by a wave field processor. The system is capable of placing virtual sources anywhere in 2-D space, generating direct sound, reflections, and reverberation. The paper focuses on the practical implementation of the system.
