An apparatus for generating an audiovisual signal, the apparatus comprising:

• an audio receiver arranged to receive at least one microphone signal from a microphone arrangement capturing a scene having a plurality of audio sources;
• an extractor arranged to extract at least one mono audio signal representing an audio source of the plurality of audio sources from the at least one microphone signal;
• a video receiver arranged to receive a video signal from a camera capturing the scene;
• an image generator arranged to generate an image signal comprising images generated from the video signal;
• a zoom determiner arranged to determine a zoom property for the images, the zoom property being a property of an angle of view for the images and comprising at least one of a zoom level and a zoom direction;
• an audio component generator arranged to generate an intermediate stereo signal component for each of the at least one mono audio signal, a first intermediate stereo signal component for a first mono audio signal of the at least one mono audio signal comprising the first mono audio signal positioned at a first position in a stereo image of the first intermediate stereo signal component;
• a combiner arranged to generate a stereo audio signal to include at least one intermediate stereo signal component;
• an output arranged to generate the audiovisual signal to comprise the stereo audio signal and the image signal;
• and
• wherein the audio component generator is arranged to determine the first position in dependence on the zoom property.
