Concert hall acoustics everywhere

IOSONO 3D sound systems by Barco create immersive listening experiences enabling

the artist to precisely control sound localization. For live events, IOSONO 3D sound

systems provide a precise directional localization, reproducing sounds where the

sound designer wants them to appear and allowing for a proper match of acoustic

and visual cues exploiting object-based audio workfl ows. With intuitive hardware

and software tools, the sound designer is given a new creative mean to support the

artistic intent. The IOSONO CORE audio processor offers high quality sound rendering,

fascinating your audience with vivid soundscapes.

Focusing on great sound experiences

Be it for large outdoor concerts or indoor

productions in challenging venues, an

IOSONO 3D sound system is the ideal

solution when sound reinforcement and

complex or dynamic audiovisual actions

takes place. Whether it’s a jazz band

or a symphony orchestra, an IOSONO

system lets the audience focus on the

music, eliminating irritating mismatches

of sound localization and movement on

stage.

IOSONO 3D sound systems haven proven

successful in the past with references

including the Shanghai Symphony

Orchestra, Sydney Opera House and

Deutsche Oper Berlin.

Smooth integration into sound designers’ workfl ows

While sound capturing can be done based on conventional techniques such as close micing, IOSONO provides software tools like the Spatial Audio Workstation for controlling and producing object based content. Multiple live audio feeds can be applied to objects which can then be positioned in space. Objects representing audio sources can either be static or moving and can be combined with positional tracking or light control systems. Real-time rendering of the incoming audio and the audio scene is done with the IOSONO CORE audio processor, according to the speaker setup and venue.

What others say…

“Using IOSONO was essential to realize our production, precisely locating the sounds and fully immersing the audience in the experience.”

Sven Soeren Beyer, founder and artistic director of phase7,

about “Celestial Mechanics” at Deutsche Oper Berlin, 2013

Tony David Cray, Head of Recording and Broadcast for Sydney Opera House, about “Die tote Stadt”, 2012

“The system really delivers a unique sound performance. It’s easy to use and makes the audience feel like a part of the music.”

Javier Arévalo, Zapata Club, about the installation at Zapata, 2012

“IOSONO 3D sound made it possible for me to share the meticulous and creative moment of Kunqu opera with the audience more closely.”
