A system and method for decorrelating audio data. A method includes determining a plurality of propagation vectors for each of a plurality of sound sources based on audio data captured by a plurality of sound capturing devices and a location of each of the plurality of sound sources, wherein the plurality of sound sources and the plurality of sound capturing devices are deployed in a space, wherein the audio data is captured by the plurality of sound capturing devices based on sounds emitted by the plurality of sound sources in the space; determining a plurality of beam former outputs, wherein each beam former output is determined for one of the plurality of sound sources; determining a decoupling matrix based on the plurality of beam former outputs and the propagation vectors; and decorrelating audio data captured by the plurality of sound capturing devices based on the decoupling matrix.
