^{MPEG-H Audio}

We will demonstrate the industry’s most advanced immersive and interactive audio system on the new Sennheiser AMBEO Plus Soundbar, playing back 3D music through the Amazon Fire Cube. MPEG-H Audio is the basis of the 360 Reality Audio format now distributed by Tidal, Amazon Music, and other streaming services.

^{MPEG-H Audio Mobile Playback}

We will demonstrate our new iPad and iPhone app that offers binaural rendering to AirPod Max headphones and performs an automatic HRTF adjustment for your hearing.

^{MPEG-H Audio Interactivity}

Experience interactive music tracks on the mH-ii App by Media Hyperium. The app draws from the 2-times Grammy-winning album “Divine Tides” created by Ricky Kej, Stewart Copeland, Eric Schilling, and Media Hyperium founder Herbert Waltl. The App allows you to create your own mix (within authored creative limits) or to choose between preset mixes.

^{MPEG-H Audio Production Tools}

MPEG-H Audio enables content creators to produce immersive and personalized experiences and our range of standalone tools and DAW-plugins helps creatives to work with maximum smoothness. Sound sources such as vocals, chorus, and instruments can be positioned in a three-dimensional space to perfectly match the creative and artistic intent. When playing back the resulting content, listeners can enjoy music that immerses them in sound from every direction as intended by the content creator.

MPEG-H Authoring Suite

We look forward to meeting you and showcasing how our innovations benefit the music industry.
