Hands-on consulting for
3D audio systems
The sonic experts at sonible offer scientific institutions, research facilities and companies 3D audio consulting for intricate immersive audio installations. Our clients value our knowledge about the latest discoveries in sound engineering and auditory science as well as our vast experience. Find below a selection of our projects.
Acoustic Research Institute
Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna
Concept - System Design - Implementation - Support
The Acoustic Research Institute (ARI) in Vienna is a pioneer in fundamental psychoacoustic research. To meet their needs regarding the simulation of acoustic scenes in a lab, we designed and installed a compact hemispheric 3D audio system with 95 discretely controllable, coaxial loudspeakers and four of our d:24 amplifier units in a 12 RU rackspace.

Audio Visual Immersion Lab (AVIL)
Technical University, Copenhagen
System Design - Implementation - Support
To research unexplained phenomena of human hearing, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has built the Audio Visual Immersion Lab (AVIL) in Copenhagen. We designed and installed for them a 72-channel 3D audio Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) system located inside an anechoic chamber. 64 KEF coaxial speakers ensure perfect sound and three d:24 amplifiers create noise-free amplification in a space-saving 9 RU.

Real Life Lab
Sonova Headquarters, Switzerland
Concept - System Design
Being able to test hearing aids and hearing aid algorithms in more realistic environments than was then common in audiological research, led Sonova to build the Real Life Lab. A total of 136 speakers on 5 levels, four subwoofers as well as 6 of our d:24 amplifiers are used at the Real Life Lab. Sonova consulted us regarding the audio set-up and technical implementations of their research facility.

Virtual Acoustic Space
Western University, Ontario
Concept - System Design - Implementation - Support - Software
A crucial part of the research focus of the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University is to study human behavior and cognition in real-world environments. With the Virtual Acoustic Space, the institute has a four-dimensional facility that helps neuroscientists to understand how human brains process sound. We were commissioned to design and build this system that includes a geodesic dome with 91 speakers.
