What is 3D sound?

3D sound overview

While traditional stereo sound captures horizontal placement, three-dimensional sound recording methods also
capture up-down and front-back placement to create 3D sound images.
The supports two 3D methods: Ambisonics and binaural.

Ambisonics formats

Features

• Multiple mics capture sound in all directions: left, right, up, down, front and back.
• Audio sources captured on multiple tracks can be processed, and sound can be extracted from any chosen
direction.
• The sound can be rotated. For example, sound can be continuously re-created as the listener turns around to face
the opposite direction.
