Redefines how we create and experience music. This immersive audio technology transcends traditional stereo, enveloping listeners in a realistic 3-dimensional surround sound space.
In stereo, our perception is limited to sound originating solely from the left or right. Immersive audio, on the other hand, enables artists to showcase their music as they initially experienced it in the studio. This involves conveying the genuine depth, width, and height of the music, resulting in a more rich and dynamic sound.
ParSonics is Dolby Certified.
Inquire with us if you are interested in expanding your project into Dolby Atmos.
