Immersive Sound – What is it?
The term „Immersive Sound“ is used to describe the now even more perfected sound experience in surround sound format. This allows the listener to immerse themselves in the music in an extraordinary way. This is a form of 3D sound in which the music comes from all sides. Immersive sound systems can be found in cinemas in particular. By purchasing such a system privately, you can now also bring the cinema sound experience into your home theater.
Immersive sound – music for immersion
The term „immersive“ originally comes from the word „immersion“, which means „immersion“, „embedding“ or „entry“. Immersive sound should enable the listener to immerse themselves in an extraordinary sound experience and become part of it. This is made possible in particular by placing various speakers. By placing them at different heights in different parts of the room, an optimal 3D sound system is created.
If you've ever been to the movies, you know this type of surround sound. From the left you hear a rustling sound, from the right a star and suddenly the suspenseful music surrounds you from all sides. The feeling that this creates is unique, which is why many people speak of a unique „cinema experience“ not only in terms of the picture quality, but also the audio quality.
With private immersive sound systems, you can now bring this movie theater experience into your home. However, this requires the necessary expertise to install and calibrate the speakers correctly. Once this has been done successfully, nothing stands in the way of the perfect home cinema experience.
Immersive sound or immersive audio?
Whoever searches for immersive sound systems will inevitably also come across the term „immersive audio“. The terms often appear together and very few people know the difference, which often causes confusion.
Basically, it can be said that the term „sound“ is more generic. Sound refers to sounds that can be produced in different ways: by acoustic musical instruments and technical systems as well as by singing.
„Audio“, on the other hand, describes the technical transmission of sound. Technically generated or transmitted sounds are therefore described with the term „audio“. Immersive sound that is transmitted through technical systems, such as loudspeakers, can therefore also be referred to as immersive audio.
Dolby Atmos as an immersive sound system
A popular sound system that also impresses with its 3D sound is the Dolby Atmos system. This is an immersive sound system, whereby the full sound experience is generated via two rear speakers.
As a professional conference and media technology company, we are well aware of the importance of audio technology. That's why we offer Dolby Atmos as well as other sound systems to ensure optimal sound.
