Room Modeling
With Headzone's advanced environment simulation software it's easy to model the sound of a loudspeaker system (up to 5.1) and to recall it at any time. The parameters that affect sound in a real room can all be adjusted virtually: the position of the loudspeakers in the room, their distance from the listener, the size and also the acoustic qualities of the room. So it's you who decides the audio environment in which to work at any time.
Headtracking for Localization and Spatial Awareness
Headzone makes sound an experience. Through the use of the ultrasonic-headtracker system, Headzone permanently detects the position of your head and adapts the source audio playback position accordingly. Unlike traditional headphones, turning your head does not affect the localisation of Headzone's sound. As in a real environment, when using Headzone the virtual speaker or sound source is located in front of, next to or behind you depending on how you turn your head, therefore simulating the "sweet spot" in your control room. The result is so effective that you completely forget that you are wearing headphones.
