Thanks to the collaborative work between our brain and ears, we can perceive the sound’s distance, elevation, and direction. This adds a level of sound immersion that can’t be replicated by traditional surround sound formats.Īlthough we only have two ears, we can often determine the approximate location of sounds in three dimensions. Instead of just hearing sounds coming from the left/right (stereo sound) or around you (surround sound), spatial sounds add an element of verticality that makes it so that what we hear is close to how we’d naturally hear it in real life. Spatial sound, sometimes called 3D audio, is an enhanced audio experience where you can perceive sounds from all directions. How to Activate These Virtual Surround Sound Softwares.
