Michael Gerzon

Michael Gerzon was a British researcher and audio engineer renowned for his work in high-fidelity sound. He pioneered techniques to capture and reproduce three-dimensional, immersive audio experiences, such as surround sound. His innovations, including through-the-air recording methods and the development of Ambisonics—a full-sphere surround sound system—advanced the way we experience realistic sound environments. Gerzon's work has influenced audio technology, enhancing music, film, and virtual reality experiences by creating richer, more natural soundscapes that mimic how humans perceive sound in real space.
