SoundField Custom Design Products

SoundField offers a range of custom surround sound decoders and controllers for auditoria installs such as Theatre, Opera and Orchestra Halls. A unique technology is used to deploy and manipulate surround sound in spaces not suited to standard surround format playback. The backbone of the system is SoundField B-Format which gives unprecedented flexibility in both control and loudspeaker placement and can be made compatible with all current audio playback formats: mono, stereo, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, etc. SoundField B-Format is a truly discrete full bandwidth system with no compromises in audio quality.

Surround Decoders

The SoundField surround sound decoders used to drive multi-channel loudspeaker arrays are custom designed to meet your loudspeaker arrangement (we can also help you in deciding upon loudspeaker positions) and do not need to follow standards such as 5.1. Furthermore, there is no limitation to the number of loudspeakers that can be used and an increase in loudspeakers will result in increased localisation. Height information is also available within the B-Format system, and only requires a height dimension to be added to the loudspeaker playback system, helping to create more dramatic localisation. All custom decoders can be implemented in both hardware and software depending on your requirements.

All custom surround sound decoders are calculated based on exact loudspeaker positions and if required can be auditioned prior to install using our unique real-time modelling platform. This will allow for any fine tuning to take place before the final hardware or software is completed.

Surround Controllers

A wide range of hardware and software tools are also available to control and manipulate 3-dimenisonal-surround sound. Due to the flexible nature of SoundField B-Format unprecedented control is available over sound source positioning and global 3-Dimensional manipulation such as rotation, tilt and zoom.

In order to allow compatibility with current formats such as mono, stereo, 5.1, 6.1, etc conversion tools are available to play these formats back over your chosen loudspeaker configuration.
