Next-Generation Audio Technologies, Ready for Integration.
Proprietary, high-performance spatial and high-resolution audio solutions, designed for effortless integration across consumer and professional markets.
Proprietary Technologies Engineered for Excellence
The NEOS team's engineering heritage includes high resolution audio - since the early 1990s. We've developed products specifically for the reproduction and the production of high-resolution audio, for both consumer and professional markets. Several of us were deeply involved in the creation and launch of high-resolution audio formats.
Our design philosophy is centered around the belief that all sound reproduction products can benefit from high-resolution audio content. Even low-cost, mass-market consumer products can reap the benefits of better sound quality if they are designed to be compatible with and leverage high resolution audio.
Similarly, NEOS has been immersed in the research and development of spatial audio technologies. This has been a major internal effort over the last 15 years. Our philosophy and approach to spatial audio differs significantly from other companies and technologies. Because of our heritage, we believe that Spatial Audio is, or should be, a component of high-resolution audio, and should never damage or compromise the original audio content.
3D Virtualization for Headphone & Headset Devices
An innovative solution for headphone and headset devices that enables external three-dimensional sound staging that is accurate to the original audio recording.
How 3D Virtualization Works
Our 3D Virtualization technology creates an external sound stage that accurately represents the spatial characteristics of the original recording. Unlike other virtualization technologies that often compromise audio quality, our approach preserves the full fidelity of the source material.
Key Technical Features
- Proprietary algorithm that analyzes and processes audio in real-time
- Compatible with both stereo and multichannel source material
- Adjustable parameters to optimize for different headphone designs
- Low computational requirements, suitable for mobile implementation
- Optional head-tracking integration for enhanced realism
Implementation Options
The technology can be implemented as:
- Software DSP solution
- Hardware-accelerated processing
- Hybrid approach with acoustic design elements
Head-Tracking Solution for Headphone and Headset Devices
A novel solution, fully compatible with our 3D Virtualization for Headphone and Headset Devices technology, enables headphone and headset devices to preserve spatial audio accuracy by preventing the 3D external sound stage from moving when the user moves their head.
Head-Tracking Technology Details
Our head-tracking solution works in harmony with our 3D Virtualization technology to maintain a stable spatial sound field as the listener moves their head. This creates a more natural and immersive listening experience that accurately represents how we perceive sound in the real world.
Technical Implementation
- Low-latency sensor integration for real-time head position monitoring
- Dynamic adjustment of spatial cues based on head movement
- Seamless integration with existing DSP chains
- Compatible with a wide range of sensor types and form factors
Applications
This technology is particularly valuable for:
- High-end consumer headphones
- Gaming headsets
- XR/VR audio solutions
- Professional monitoring headphones
3D Sound Source Virtualization for Loudspeakers, Soundbars, Headphone and Headset Devices with Optional AI (Machine Learning)
A more universal signal processing-based solution that generates three-dimensional virtual sound sources for any acoustical device - loudspeakers, soundbars, automotive sound systems, headphones, headsets, earphones (earbuds), etc.
Universal 3D Sound Technology
Our universal 3D sound virtualization technology represents the next evolution in spatial audio processing. It's designed to work across the full spectrum of audio playback devices, from high-end speaker systems to everyday earbuds.
AI-Enhanced Processing
The optional AI/machine learning component of this technology provides:
- AI is remote, off-device
- No AI overhead or cost required for processing and power
- AI optimizes virtualization algorithms for any sound source located in 3D space around the listener
Technological Advantages
