Introduction
The Sonic Wave I 3D sound processor is specially designed to enlarge the listening
zone of conventional surround sound and enables perfect audio imaging for all
listeners. In conventional setups, only listeners in the center of the loudspeaker array
are in the sweet spot and therefore get the impression that the sound is reproduced
spatially. With the Sonic Wave I, everyone has the same impression of spatial audio
regardless of his or her position. Using Sonic Emotion™ audio processing based on
wave field synthesis (WFS), the Sonic Wave I processor is able to enlarge the sweet
spot to the whole listening area. Stereo or 5.1 content can be rendered using plane
audio waves, which allow for a consistent listening angle of all input channels in the
entire audience. Moreover, audio objects with position information can be rendered
as point sources. In this case, the perspective to the audio source (e.g. instrument,
singer, etc.) remains meaningful within the entire audience. As a result, the listening
experience is dramatically improved, not only in the sweet spot but also in the entire
audience while using the Sonic Wave I.
