Immersive Experiences for everyone
With roots in pioneering acoustic design and revolutionising spatial audio with digital technology, SoundxR brings Yamaha Group Companies together with a collective vision to bring immersive experiences to everyone.
In the virtual world, soundxR Core is a binaurilizer widely adopted in the gaming industry to enhance the sound experience using headphones. And in the real world, AFC or Active Field Control has already been adopted in over 150 venues worldwide.
The soundxR vision is to connect real with virtual environments. For example, using the real venue data to create 3D modelling for a virtual venue, and create a virtual event for an ‘off-site’ experience. Then, audiences can join from other platforms such as VR devices or smartphones and experience immersive audio via headphones. Or the reverse, reproduce virtual content at an on-site venue. The potential is only limited by the creators’ minds.
Seamless workflow from creation to delivery
Yamaha Group Companies have come together to deliver a complete immersive audio workflow from sound design and content creation through to scalable delivery solutions.
Step 1: A powerful, Intuitive DAW for content creation
Renowned for its immersive mixing capabilities, it’s easy to create stunning content for any small-to-large scale event using the acclaimed Nuendo sound-design tools. Nuendo comes with a complete feature set for capturing live and studio performances and captured or imported audio come together in one timeline for editing and assembly. Nuendo‘s direct connection to the AFC Image Panner is the seamless gateway from pre-production to running the show.
Step 2: AFC Design Assistant to define speaker placement
Immersive audio requires very precise speaker implementation to achieve its goal. When the user specifies parameters such as venue dimensions, stage dimensions and aisle width, AFC Design Assistant provides the necessary guidelines for the required number and placement of speakers to provide a full immersive audio experience for an entire audience.
Step 3: NS-1 System Simulation
AFC Design Assistant is part of NS-1, NEXO’s intuitive drag-and-drop software tool for the configuration of any line source or point source system from NEXO’s catalogue, thanks to intuitive yet powerful tools applied to your own geometry. NS-1 not only assists in achieving the best SPL coverage, but also certifies that mechanical constraints are satisfied.
Step 4: Exporting Speaker Positions
When the system design is complete, the design file can be exported from NS-1 and imported to AFC Image Controller, making the whole process from studio design through to venue performance as quick, easy and accurate as possible.
Step 5: Object based mixing made easy
Once the speaker positions have been exported to AFC Image Controller, it’s time for the final playback.
AFC Image supports object-based mixing using a Distance-based amplitude panning (DBAP) algorithm. Objects can be moved smoothly and easily in any direction using the intuitive user interface of AFC Image Controller.
Step 6: Add stunning 3D Reverb
Drawing on an expertise in architectural acoustic design and facilitated by the processing power of the DME10, AFC Image Controller includes a high-quality 3D reverb.
This can be used as a sound effect to add spacial atmosphere to the content and automatically calculates the reverb setting based on the object’s position to ensure a natural sound.
Step 7: Control from industry-standard digital consoles
To make operation easier for live mixing engineers, AFC Image will support both Rivage PM Series and DM7 Series mixing consoles as standard.
Object position can be controlled from the touchscreen of the console and the AFC Image main fader and 3D Reverb fader can also be controlled.
Step 8: Enhanced Connectivity and interoperability
Third party integrations via OSC and ADM-OSC protocols are also supported to enhance connectivity and interoperability across different platforms.
These include: Stagetracker, Zactrack, Naostage and Follow Me tracking systems, Q-Lab, Atlas and MAX show controllers and, of course, the Nuendo DAW from Steinberg.

DME10: Transforming the impact of musical performances
It’s time to free the audience from the mono mix. Where once the front of house sound engineer could pan a source left or right, now 128 objects can connect to mixer sizes of up to 128 channels providing far better localisation. Live music events are transformed for performers and audience alike.
DME 10: Creating stunning visitor experiences
From a cavern to a cathedral, use sophisticated 3D reverb to create any number of acoustic environments and move or position sounds anywhere within that space. From immersive art tours and museum events to visitor attractions and rides, the ability to create acoustic environments and localise sounds within them brings the power to deliver visitor experiences and thrills on a whole new level.
DME10: Placing the audience at the heart of the drama
Dramas and musicals often rely on a simple LCR system to localise the sound of the performers. Compatible with external stage tracking devices, DME10 with 5 or 7 FOH speakers improves this drastically, so the audience hears better where the action is coming from. A new immersive audience experience is further enhanced by new possibilities in sound design and effects.
Engaging with worshippers on a whole new level
With speech and music at the heart of the celebration, the ability to create 3-dimensional soundscapes results in a more engaging experience for worshippers, while 3D reverbs transform the acoustics of small spaces into cathedrals.
