   \begin{abstract}
+    In the field of spatial audio reproduction different types of software have
+    been designed to cope with the needs of several rendering algorithms
+    conceived over the last century. Their feasibility and reproducability in a
+    real environment have been evaluated and tested and their implementations
+    extended.\\
+    Often, rendering software is a single-purpose application, that fills the
+    niche for a specific setup in place. To some of these solutions
+    unfortunately, no further work is applied, leaving them unsupported at some
+    point.\\
+    In the following work, current free and open-source spatial audio
+    renderers, currently in use in scientific and artistic contexts, are
+    evaluated. The SoundScape Renderer --- in contrast to the other candidates,
+    a multi-purpose tool --- is chosen for a rewrite of its network based
+    messaging system, which then allows it to be used in large scale
+    multi-loudspeaker setups and networked singular setups, all rendering the
+    same virtual audio scene.\\
+    Its new networking extension, along with a client-server architecture, its
+    messaging system with tests and workflow examples is elaborated.
