FLUX:: Immersive SPAT Revolution 22.02 NOW with optional WFS

Orléans, France – February 2022

With today’s demand for the entertainment to completely immerse the audience in the experience, and for producing a stable soundscape image throughout an entire audience listening area, FLUX:: Immersive announces the release of an add-on license option which provides WFS, Wave Field Synthesis technique for spatial audio reproduction. 

The SPAT Revolution audio mix engine software WFS add-on allows the distinctive Wave Field Synthesis approach deployment on colinear speaker systems (line of speakers in a frontal setting) and with qualified 2D/3D speaker arrangements surrounding the audience.

“We intended to deliver a flexible WFS technique approach for systems that don’t have the typical density / speaker element spacing. Our field testing simply proved that employing this even in a non classical setup, potentially rendered superior results to the quality of the restitution of the soundfield.” states Gael Martinet 

WFS is a spatial audio reproduction technique characterized by the creation of virtual acoustic environments. It produces artificial wavefronts synthesized by a number of loudspeakers, aiming to reproduce the true physical attributes of a given sound field over an extended area of the listening room. Contrary to traditional spatialization techniques, such as the directional based approach, the localization of virtual sources in WFS does not depend on phantom sound sources and the listener’s position.  The position remains stable for a single listener moving around.

Martinet added ”We have been locked with old hearing paradigms such as stereophonic principles and the acoustical illusion it creates. Now, this WFS approach allows for a completely different loudspeaker contribution to the system and the entire audience area it’s diffusing to”

With the SPAT Revolution WFS add-on license option, SPAT Revolution Ultimate v22.02 sessions can now use the WFS technique as a panning option in channel based room setup using the SPAT Revolution software application.

In the effort to ensure a system driven approach and the best deployment of SPAT Revolution and the WFS systems,  FLUX:: Immersive system integration experts are available to provide the consulting services required for any projects. From best practices recommendation to system configuration files.
