3-D Virtual Acoustics

With Panorama 6 you can create stunning 3-D effects over conventional stereo headphones and speakers. Features sophisticated HRTF, crosstalk cancelling and room modeling DSP technology.

Description :

Panorama is a specialized tool for creating stunningly realistic 3-D audio scenes using regular stereo sound. The DSP technology in Panorama reproduces psychoacoustic sound localization and distance cues, allowing you to pan sounds in three dimensions: not just left and right, but up, down, front, back, near, and far. Panorama combines 3-D audio panning with acoustic environment modeling, including wall reflections, reverberation, distance modeling, and the Doppler pitch effect. While primarily intended for headphone listening, Panorama also includes a crosstalk canceller for playback over conventional stereo loudspeakers.

Feature highlights :

Position and move sound in three dimensions
Uses Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) to reproduce binaural sound localization cues.
Integrated reverberation and distance cues
Extensive control over dimensions and surface material of all six surfaces of the room
Doppler pitch effect

Sound examples :

Demos labeled “headphones” should be listened to over headphones; demos labels “speakers” should be listened to over stereo loudspeakers.

A helicopter circling around the head is a classic 3-D sound example, reproduced here using Panorama:

Helicopter Circling (headphones)
Helicopter Circling (speakers)

Now the helicopter moves up and down :

Helicopter UpDown (headphones)

The following example has the helicopter flying all around in different directions, demonstrating the Doppler and distance effects:

Helicopter Fly Around (headphones)
Helicopter Fly Around (speakers)

The following is a simple battlefield scene. A machine gun is heard on the left, bullets fly by to the right and ricochet, then a shell falls from top right to left resulting in an explosion to the front left. A conventional stereo mix of the same scene is provided for comparison.

War (stereo)
War (headphones)
War (speakers)

The following demonstration uses Panorama as a spatial music mixer. Notice how the Panorama processed sound is more “open”.
