To continue with the theme of the past couple of years, our last event of 2025 is another visit to an audio company. Audioscenic will kindly open their doors for us and show us what they are working on. The event will consist of a presentation of their technology and demos of the product.
Binaural audio is fundamental to delivering immersive spatial sound, but traditional playback has been limited to headphones. Crosstalk Cancellation (CTC) technology overcomes this limitation by enabling accurate binaural reproduction over loudspeakers, allowing for a more natural listening experience. Using a compact loudspeaker array positioned in front of the listener, CTC systems apply beamforming techniques to direct sound precisely to each ear. Combined with listener tracking, this ensures consistent and accurate binaural playback, even as the listener moves.
This talk will provide an in-depth look at the principles behind CTC technology, the role of loudspeaker array beamforming, and how listener-tracked CTC can be used to deliver fully immersive experiences.
This event will be in-person only at their offices in the Southampton Science Park and it is free to members of the IoA and students. Numbers are extremely limited, so please only register if you are able to attend in person.
