Apparatus and method for implementing versatile audio object rendering

An apparatus for rendering according to an embodiment is provided. The apparatus is configured to generate an audio output signal for a loudspeaker of a loudspeaker setup from one or more audio objects. Each of the one or more audio objects comprises an audio object signal and exhibits a position. The apparatus comprises an interface (110) configured to receive information on the position of each of the one or more audio objects. Moreover, the apparatus comprises a gain determiner (120) configured to determine gain information for each audio object of the one or more audio objects for the loudspeaker depending on a distance between the position of said audio object and a position of the loudspeaker and depending on distance attenuation information and/or loudspeaker emphasis information. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises a signal processor (130) configured to generate an audio output signal for the loudspeaker depending on the audio object signal of each of the one or more audio objects and depending on the gain information for each of the one or more audio objects for the loudspeaker.
