This suite represents the continuation of an ambitious project that began with Sienna release and is now evolving with this incredible new product. It has taken a long time to design and develop; its completely new approach to immersive audio post-production allows the user to have a new and more thrilling listening experience.

Immersive audio provides an entirely different natural vibe and a three-dimensional sound experience, more than any system heard before. The immersive audio creates a feeling of height around the listener, transporting them into a Sphere of hearing involvement and giving a deeper and more exciting listening experience. Thanks to Sienna Sphere you can move your audio as it comes from all directions, with astonishing clarity, richness and power, flowing all around you.

Last but not least, Sienna Sphere gives you the possibility to compare the binaural listening between the most prevalent standards (Apple Logic Pro® , Steinberg  Nuendo®…) and streaming services (Tidal, Apple Music..), choosing the room and the headphones you prefer. To make it really interesting, we also developed our binauraliser ACU, which is the most precise and performing one, based on the best features coming from the other binauralisers.

Details

Sienna Sphere is a multi-format binaural tool suite for immersive sound featuring:

• Binaural processing modes
Sienna Sphere can receive different input configurations (speaker arrangement) and then turn them to binaural audio to allow the listening of a 3D files in headphones. Sienna Sphere is the first audio monitoring tool to combine multiple listening and rendering engines in one product, by incorporating  our market-leading immersive audio algorithms to provide a more accurate and better performance.

• Headphones correction
Using Sienna Sphere with supported headphones, you will be able to hear all the dimensions of a surround mix with surprising realism. Sienna Sphere uses algorithms to improve the frequency response of the most popular circumaural and in-ear headphones to make the listening experience even more realistic, without artifacts.

• Room emulations
Sienna Sphere allows you to choose your ideal listening environment from a collection of available sampled recording studios. NOTE: If you own one or more Sienna additional volume/s, you will be able to use the rooms in Sienna Sphere as well. The Sienna room emulations are compatible with Sienna Sphere.
