PMC built an amazing 9.1 surround speaker setup with height channels, presenting the immersive 3D audio format “Auro-3D®.” It is designed along three layers of sound (surround, height and overhead ceiling), building on the single horizontal layer used in the 5.1 sound format. Auro-3D® creates a spatial sound field by adding a height layer around the audience on top of the traditional 2D surround sound system. This additional layer reveals both localized sounds and height reflections complementing the sounds that exist in the lower surround layer. Various music and movie examples will evidence how Auro-3D®'s unique vertical stereo field all around the listener will provide that extra dimension for sound design and music mixing, making Auro-3D® the ultimate true 3D Immersive Sound format for film, music and games.
