Ambisonics
Ambisonics is an advanced 3D audio technology that captures and reproduces sound from all directions. Unlike traditional stereo sound, which is limited to two channels, Ambisonics uses multiple audio channels to create a more immersive listening experience. It records sound as a spherical field, allowing listeners to perceive audio from above, below, and all around them. This makes it ideal for virtual reality, gaming, and spatial audio applications, enhancing realism by mimicking how we naturally hear sounds in our environment. The technology offers a sense of presence and engagement that goes beyond conventional audio formats.

Ambisonics is a 3D audio technology that captures and reproduces sound from all directions, creating an immersive listening experience. Unlike traditional stereo or surround sound, which rely on specific speaker placements, ambisonics uses special microphone techniques to record sound fields. The audio can then be played back through various speaker configurations or headphones, allowing listeners to feel as if they are in the middle of the sound source. It’s commonly used in virtual reality, film, and music to enhance spatial awareness and realism in audio experiences.
