Sound plays an important role in creating immersive experiences. It can be used to enhance the realism of virtual environments, provides cues for navigation and interactivity, and conveys information and emotions to users. We are your partner for high quality audio. We accompany you from the concept to the finished product.
We integrate true spatial audio voice chat into your product. We can upgrade an existing product or build it from scratch.
Our WebSDK supports all browsers and brings true spatial audio to your web application. We take care of reverb, ambience, and rendering.
Our true spatial audio engine is available for iOS and Android. We integrate and tune the experience to your needs.
Truly immersive experiences rely on spatial audio. We develop software for recording, editing, and rendering.
In the metaverse, sound plays an important role in creating immersive experiences. It can be used to enhance the realism of virtual environments, provide cues for navigation and interactivity, and convey information and emotions to users. True spatial audio can also be used to create a sense of presence and spatial awareness, allowing users to orient themselves and navigate within virtual worlds.
True spatial audio is a technique that allows sounds to be perceived as coming from specific locations in a three-dimensional space. This includes the direction, distance, and movement of the sound source, as well as the reflections, reverberation, and other acoustic properties of the environment.
True spatial audio can improve the user experience by providing a more immersive and realistic listening experience. It can make it feel as if the audio is coming from specific locations in the environment, rather than just from the loudspeakers or headphones (stereo, or mono). This can enhance the sense of presence and make it feel like the listener is in the same space as the sound sources. Spatial audio can also improve the intelligibility of speech and the ability to locate and distinguish different sound sources, which can be useful in various applications such as gaming, virtual reality, and film.
A recent study* showed that adding true spatial audio to your application has the same effect on immersion as increasing the video resolution by 400%.

Spatial audio can be experienced through headphones as well as loudspeakers. When using headphones, spatial audio can be achieved via binaural audio, which uses head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to simulate the way sound is naturally filtered by the head, ears, and torso before reaching the eardrum. This allows the listener to perceive the direction, distance, and movement of sound sources as if they were in a real 3D environment.
For loudspeakers, you need to employ a so-called decoder, which calculates the weights of each loudspeaker in the setup in order to reproduce a desired sound experience.
There are several spatial audio formats that are currently available (channel-based, scene-based, and object-based), each with their own unique features and capabilities. We like all flavors of it and support all the formats.
Yes, we are a full-stack audio development software studio. We can take care of recording, editing and rendering of sound.
In general, we prefer to use our internal code base without dependencies. Depending on the use case and functionality, we are open to partnering with third party software.
We don’t have favorites. We would discuss the available CPaaS options with you, and choose the best fit for the application or service at hand.
We love to form ongoing partnerships and strong bonds. Our pricing can vary depending on the specific projects. But usually it is a combination of time and materials, plus a subscription for our proprietary SDKs that are used in the application per runtime.
It’s important for you to be involved in the process and to provide clear communication and feedback throughout the project. This way we can understand the specific needs and deliver a software that meets your expectations.
We employ an agile development workflow with lots of iterations, which allows for frequent check-ins and feedback from you throughout the development process.
We are experts in audio, voice, and immersive media experiences. As a team, we look back on many years of experience in the field of spatial audio – both in research and in designing immersive applications and experiences. We have put together our proprietary tech for recording, editing, and rendering of true spatial audio. Our specialities include perceptually-optimized binaural rendering, adaptive encoding, and spatialized voice chat integration. Apart from the tech-background, we are known to design awfully nice UI. And we are sure: The Future of Audio is 3D!
Let’s join forces in bringing immersive experience to the next level.
