Latin America. Immersive audio is one of the most interesting developments in professional and consumer audio, thanks to its ability to place listeners in the middle of a remarkably realistic 3D audio environment. To aid in understanding this growing segment, Genelec offers its free guide "Immersive Solutions 2018", which provides a practical overview of the principles, formats and technical considerations involved in immersive audio playback along with recommended Genelec speakers, system configurations and software utilities.
"Immersive audio is amazing in its ability to add greater 3D realism to movies, games, music, virtual reality and other media. However, it is still not fully understood by consumers and even some industry professionals. In addition, immersive audio systems are more complicated to set up and install. We created the Genelec 'Immersive Solutions 2018' guide to explain what is involved and provide solutions to ensure immersive audio speaker systems are implemented correctly," said Will Eggleston, Marketing Manager at Genelec Inc.
The guide covers a number of topics related to immersive audio, starting with an overview of how the ear perceives and locates sound and how a properly aligned speaker system can deliver immersive audio. It explains how immersive audio speaker systems are set up and covers the various formats available, including Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, DTS:X, 22.2, and others.
The guide offers several Genelec immersive room solutions for compact, small, medium and large rooms and explains how Genelec's GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software can be used to precisely configure an immersive speaker system.
The guide concludes with an overview of Genelec monitor monitors and subwoofers that can provide a professional solution for any type of immersive audio application.
