Audyssey60° Advances the Headphone Listening Experience

Barcelona,SPAIN – (February 18, 2014) – Audyssey, the leader in high-qualityaudio rendering, today announced Audyssey 60°. This new technology upgrades theheadphone listening experience by bringing depth and spatial awareness that –until now – had been unavailable in mobile audio.

“With headphones it’s impossible to reproduce the soundstageexperience of the original recording because headphones can’t deliver sound toboth ears,” said Chris Kyriakakis, Audyssey’s founder and CTO. “As a result, significantportions of the required acoustical and psychoacoustical cues are missing. WithAudyssey 60°, we restore this missing information to deliver a natural, moreprecise listening experience.”

Music and movies are mixed in acoustically calibrated listeningspaces – rooms with two or more speakers placed in precise locations thatdeliver sound to both ears to create a detailed soundstage. To render this soundstageover headphones, previous methods have attempted to feed the signal from eachside to the opposite ear with little success. Audyssey 60° takes a differentapproach, developing an immersive listening experience by sending the proper blendof acoustical and psychoacoustical cues to both ears simultaneously. Thisresults in spatially expanded sound perception, creating the impression of amuch wider soundstage.

Audyssey will be at the Mobile World Congress next week inBarcelona, Spain, meeting with phone and tablet manufacturers that have alreadyexpressed strong interest in delivering HD audio to their customers. Audyssey60° is a software-based solution that’s quickly and easily implemented in anymobile device, mobile application or personal computer.
