WHAT IS MPEG-H AUDIO?

Interactive and immersive
next-generation audio

MPEG-H Audio is designed to deliver sound from around and above the listener while supporting channels, audio objects and scene-based production. This allows engineers and content creators to build flexible immersive experiences for music, television, streaming and virtual reality.

Unlike a fixed channel mix, MPEG-H can carry descriptive metadata that helps compatible playback systems adapt the experience to televisions, headphones, soundbars, smartphones and multichannel loudspeaker systems.

OUR MASTERING APPROACH

Precision across every
listening environment

MPEG-H content requires careful control of tonal balance, dynamics, spatial positioning, metadata and playback translation. Our approach considers both the immersive presentation and the way the programme adapts to smaller playback systems.

Every project is assessed across calibrated immersive monitoring, stereo playback and headphones to maintain clarity, impact and artistic intent throughout the delivery chain.

  • Immersive tonal and dynamic mastering
  • Channel, object and scene evaluation
  • Metadata and personalisation checks
  • Loudspeaker and headphone translation
  • Stereo and downmix compatibility
  • Technical quality control before delivery
