1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a speaker array which is configured to provide a plurality of listener-specific sound stages of audio content to each of a plurality of listeners, wherein the speaker array comprises;

    a set of one or more sensor devices which are configured to generate one or more sensor data representations of an environment in which the speaker array is located;

    a processor which is configured to identify a different position associated with each respective listener, of the plurality of listeners, based on processing the one or more sensor data representations; and

    a set of drivers which are configured to at least partially collectively generate, for each respective listener of the plurality of listeners, a listener-specific audio signal pattern, comprising at least some of the audio content, which is shaped, based on a directivity index associated with the audio signal pattern, to at least partially inhibit an intensity of the audio signal pattern in a direction towards the position associated with another listener of the plurality of listeners,wherein the set of drivers is configured to generate, at least partially concurrently, the listener-specific audio signal patterns in different directions towards the positions associated with each respective listener.
