What is spatial audio?
Immersive audio, sometimes referred to as spatial audio, aims to create a 3D sound environment that envelops listeners from every direction—in front, beside, behind, above, and below. Techniques like object-based audio, binaural audio, and ambisonics are commonly used to create this immersive effect. Unlike traditional surround sound, spatial audio allows for more dynamic and precise placement of sound sources. Headphones can also play back immersive audio mixes, so the experience isn’t limited to surround sound systems.
