    Endgame headphone convolver for easier use?

    Hello. Been looking into what's truly possible with headphone spatalization technology. Turns out the impossible end-of-the-game product is the Smyth Realiser A16. However, it is prohibitively both expensive and difficult to set up. I have wondered as to whether it is possible that somebody with...

    Good alternative to stock Dolby Atmos for Headphones virtualiser?

    Hello. I consider myself an average user of the Dolby Atmos for Headphones app. It delivers good quality reproduction to my ears on Atmos content, and is remarkably simple to use, to the point of being essentially set-and-forget. But I've been looking to upgrade this experience, and I'm...

    Home Theatre surround speaker SPL requirements

    This is a question that comes up a lot: how loud must those surround speakers go compared to the fronts? While it's very tempting to just have all speakers of the same model, it is often impractical and economically undesirable. So what gives? What can you get away with? Instinctively, my...

    Favorite Surround Sound TV/Film

    It’s been slow, but I’m inching closer to finishing my multichannel setup. I’m really looking forward to Atmos music and hearing how up-mixing stereo music with Auro-3D will be. In the end, it’s all about the experience. On the video side, I’m curious what the community thinks really impresses...

    HTD Q65 outdoor speaker for Atmos or do you have other recommendations?

    Hi! I have been looking for an atmos speaker that is not too big that can hit solid to 80hz so I dont have to crossover higher than that. Being easy to ceiling mount is also important (not in ceiling speakers please). I have the Polk OWM3 but they get set to 120 or 150hz when running Audyssey...

    Looking to upgrade my Atmos Polk OWM3 ...recommendations please.

    Hi! So, I have been considering getting a slightly beefier Atmos speaker that I can crossover at 80Hz. I was thinking about the DT Promonitor 1000 and the Polk XT15. If you have done this..was it worth it? If so, is there any other you can recommend in that price? It MUST have a 1/4" 20 Threaded...

    Ceiling speakers: Kef Uni-Q or Monitor Audio

    Hi, I am thinking of replacing my ceiling speakers because I suspect that they might be the reason for, sometimes, not so convincing immersive surround experience. They are Monitor Audio Pro-65, the cheapest option I could find then, thinking they don't need to be high end speakers for few...

    Mark Cerny (PS5’s Lead Architect) covering HRTF & 3D Audio

    It’s covering the whole system, but this section (40min mark) shows how serious Sony is taking audio in games. I’m surprised this is currently #1 on trending on YouTube, as it’s not like Apple doing a Keynote for a new product, it’s simply Mark talking about how they created the PS5. The...
