3D Sound Labs Announces its Ambisonics to Binaural Plug-in With Real-time Head Tracking

PARIS and LOS ANGELES, September 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Real-time Ambisonics Monitoring is Made Available to Multichannel and VR Audio Content
Creators

    3D Sound Labs, the 3D/VR Audio specialist, is unveiling today its Ambisonics
monitoring plug-in at the 141st Audio Engineering Society International Convention in Los
Angeles. Together with the 3D Sound One head tracking module, the plug-in will
realistically render Ambisonics content over headphones directly from the DAW allowing an
immediate feedback during the mixing phase.

    Sound engineers and content creators need to be able to listen to their creation while
mixing, which can be cumbersome for Virtual Reality and 360degree(s) video content. With
Ambisonics becoming the leading audio format for 360degree(s) video, a key market driver
for user generated and recorded VR contents, the new plug-in is perfectly fit for the
task.

    When used together with one's favorite Ambisonics panning plug-in, the 3D Sound Lab's
plug-in will also render multichannel content therefore allowing mixing outside of the
recording studio.

    It provides a binaural rendering of 1st order Ambisonics content and real-time head
tracking, for a natural listening with all the elements of the content being placed in 3D
space around the listener.

    "We are extremely excited to provide 3D and VR content creators with the same audio
rendering technology available to end-users in 3D Sound Labs enabled products", said
Dimitri Singer, CEO at 3D Sound Labs. "Monitoring was the missing block of the 3D Audio
content creation tool-chain; sound mixing engineers can now accurately monitor their
content directly from their workstation."

    Key Features 

       
        - 1st order Ambisonics to binaural audio conversion.
        - HRTF-based spatialization.
        - Supports ACN, SID and FUMA orderings.
        - Supports SN3D and N3D normalizations.
        - Low latency head tracking with 3D Sound One Module.

    Availability and Pricing 

    3D Sound Labs Ambisonics to Binaural plug-in will be available free of charge, in AAX
format for Mac OSX, from November 2016, at http://www.3dsoundlabs.com [http://www.3dsoundlabs.com
