Dynamic range control (DRC) cannot be simply applied to higher-order ambisonics (HOA) based signals. [Solution] A method for performing DRC on an HOA signal includes converting the HOA signal to the spatial domain, analyzing the converted HOA signal, and obtaining a gain factor usable for dynamic compression from the results of the analysis. The gain factor can be transmitted together with the HOA signal. When DRC is applied, the HOA signal is converted to the spatial domain, the gain factor is extracted, and in the spatial domain, it is multiplied with the converted HOA signal to obtain a gain-compensated converted HOA signal. The gain-compensated converted HOA signal is converted back to the original HOA domain to obtain a gain-compensated HOA signal.
