Full-Sphere Immersion
Represent sound around, above and below the listener as one complete three-dimensional soundfield.
IMMERSIVE AUDIO FORMAT
Ambisonics
Mastering
Ambisonics captures and reproduces a complete three-dimensional soundfield, allowing audio to surround the listener and adapt to loudspeakers, headphones, VR, 360 video and interactive environments.

WHAT IS AMBISONICS?
A complete soundfield
surrounding the listener
Ambisonics represents an immersive soundfield using spherical harmonic components rather than tying the audio to one fixed loudspeaker arrangement. The encoded scene can be rotated, processed and decoded for different playback environments.
First-Order Ambisonics provides an efficient foundation for spatial audio, while Higher-Order Ambisonics adds additional components to improve localisation, spatial detail and the stability of the immersive listening area.

KEY BENEFITS OF AMBISONICS
Layout-Independent
The soundfield is not permanently tied to one speaker arrangement and can be decoded for different systems.
Higher-Order Detail
Higher Ambisonic orders provide greater spatial resolution, stronger localisation and more precise soundfield reproduction.
Interactive Playback
Compatible systems can rotate the complete soundfield in response to the listener’s viewing direction.
WHERE AMBISONICS IS USED
Spatial audio for
interactive experiences
Ambisonics is especially suited to productions where the listener may turn, move or interact with the sound environment. The entire scene can respond naturally while maintaining the relationship between its individual sounds.
It can also be used for immersive music, environmental recordings, live installations and soundfield archiving, providing a flexible foundation for future playback and decoding.
Virtual And Augmented Reality
Head-tracked soundfields for immersive VR and AR experiences
360-Degree Video
Spatial audio that follows the viewer’s orientation
Games And Interactive Media

Installations And Live Sound
Flexible soundfield reproduction across speaker arrays
OUR MASTERING APPROACH
Precision. Rotation. Translation.
Ambisonic material requires careful technical and creative assessment to preserve the complete spatial soundfield. We evaluate tonal balance, dynamics, orientation, phase, channel integrity and decoding behaviour.
Every project is checked across calibrated immersive loudspeakers and headphones to ensure that the soundfield remains stable, musical and accurate throughout the intended delivery workflow.
- First-Order and Higher-Order Ambisonics evaluation
- AmbiX ACN channel-order verification
- SN3D normalisation and channel integrity checks
- Soundfield orientation and rotation testing
- Loudspeaker and binaural decoding evaluation
- Delivery preparation for interactive and immersive media
