Immerse Virtual Studio PRO breaks down barriers of cost and accessibility to virtual production, so any engineer can perfect their mix in the legendary Atmos Studios of A.R. Rahman and Alan Meyerson.  The real-time binauralization takes advantage of Maxwell’s legendary 90MM planar magnetic drivers and head-tracking utilizing hardware already inside every Audeze Maxwell, and for the most realistic virtualization experience. 

This partnership with Embody underscores Audeze’s dedication to expanding the support of Maxwell to diverse applications, making it the ultimate spatial audio creation headphone. This announcement also builds on the recent update enabling head tracking for Maxwell users within the Dolby Atmos Renderer.

“This is the next step in our long term relationship and collaboration with Embody” stated Audeze CEO Sankar Thiagasamudram. “We are striving to create more ready-made spatial audio solutions that take advantage of Maxwell’s built-in hardware” he added.

Leveraging personalized HRTF technology, it delivers accurate height, depth-of-field, and crosstalk, recreating the legendary studios of A.R.
