ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for processing a multi-channel signal includes a means for determining a similarity between a first one of two channels and a second one of the two channels. Furthermore, a means for performing a prediction filtering of the spectral coefficients is provided, which is formed to perform a prediction filtering with only a single prediction filter for both channels in case of high similarity between the first and the second channel, and to perform a prediction filtering with two separate prediction filters in case of a dissimilarity between the first and the second channel. With this, an introduction of stereo artifacts and a deterioration of the coding gain in stereo coding techniques are avoided.
