Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound







Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound

Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound 07/27/2004 09:21 AM

iosono_sound.jpg image

Wired News profiles a new sound technology called 'Iosono' which aims to recreate the sweet spot of 3D sound in every seat of a theater. Created by one of the major developers of MP3, Iosono uses over 300 speakers arranged around a space to provide more realistic environment, one where sound can subtly move across the room for everyone listening, not just those in the middle of all the speakers. Unfortunately, as cool as the technology might be, movies theaters are already scrambling to scrape together enough money to pay for digital projection and other upgrades, and since no movie studios are currently producing movies with the Iosono format, it's unlikely owners will be rushing to install a 300-speaker upgrade for a format with an unknown future.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Media Technology is in L.A. right now, with their lab coats and clipboards and everything, to demonstrate a new audio technology called Iosono that will bring realism to new heights.

The C|Net article features a description of technology, as well as the mixing console used to encode the audio, which uses "a light pen to let a sound engineer specify exactly where he or she wants the sound to seem to be coming from...the software makes the calculations on the back end". The decoding software is set up for the shape and speaker layout of the room its placed in.

The advantage of all the expensive processing hardware and numerous speakers required for an Iosono set up will be the elimination of sweet spots in the listening room— every person in the room will be able to enjoy the effect that the sound engineer has designed.

Audio engineers at UC Davis have developed a new technology that delivers motion-tracked binaural sound (MTB). It's an update on conventional binaural recording which uses microphones embedded in a dummy head to capture the "location" of sound in a room. One problem with conventional binaural recording is that the sound doesn't change when you move your head. For example, if you hear a recording of someone behind you and turn your head to face them, it still sounds like they're behind you.
"The new method records through multiple microphones (eight for voice, 16 for music) spaced around a head-sized ball or cylinder. The sound is played back through headphones with a small tracking device attached to the top to follow head movements. As you turn your head while listening, the system mixes sound from different microphones, reproducing what you would hear if you were in the room."

On today's edition of the NPR program "Day to Day," I report on IOSONO, a new audio editing and delivery system that uses hundreds of speakers and complex software to create what developers tout as "3D sound." This technology is the creation of Dr. Karlheinz Brandenburg, a pioneer of the MP3 codec, and was developed by a team at Germany's Frauenhofer Institute -- where MP3 was born.
