Spatial Audio

Audio that conveys a sense of direction and space, positioning sounds around the listener.

Spatial audio is a broad term for sound reproduced with a sense of three-dimensional space, so that elements seem to come from specific directions and distances around the listener. It spans formats from binaural headphone audio to immersive systems like Dolby Atmos. Building spatial mixes from stereo or mono sources relies on separating the original recording into individual elements that can be repositioned.
