Audioscenic Collaborates to Launch World’s First AI-enhanced PC Monitor

Audioscenic, the UK-based audio technology innovator and creator of Amphi 3D sound, announces a collaboration with a global leader in personal computing to launch a cutting-edge QD-OLED monitor. Featuring Amphi Hi-D technology, the 31.5-inch QD-OLED monitor includes a room-filling 5x5W bezel-mounted speaker array, offering a first-of-its-kind audio experience. The new monitor will debut at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.

Since launching in 2016, Audioscenic has been on a mission to evolve spatial audio rendering by combining Machine Learning AI with advanced signal processing to deliver an unparalleled immersive sound experience that adapts to the listener’s position. At CES 2023, Audioscenic Amphi debuted on the Razer™ Leviathan V2 Pro soundbar and was recognized as Best in Show. In 2024, Acer launched the SpatialLabs™ View 27 series of stereoscopic display products featuring Amphi, and today, the QD-OLED monitor with Amphi Hi-D takes display technology to the next level.

Audioscenic Amphi Hi-D delivers listener position-adaptive High-Dimensional sound, setting a new benchmark in spatial audio. Using the built-in webcam as a Machine Learning AI powered sensor, Amphi senses the alignment of the listener’s ears relative to the monitor screen. This positional data enables beamforming, and drives a process called cross-talk cancellation that unlocks spatial cues to deliver optimized 3D sound to the listener. Compared to conventional 2-channel stereo systems, Hi-D provides superior control over 3D sound reproduction through advanced cross-talk cancellation across multiple speakers. Hi-D offers an enhanced user experience with more uniform frequency response, wider cancellation spectrum, increased loudness, and reduced reflections.

“With the new QD-OLED monitor, we’re bringing AI-enhanced Hi-D sound to everyday computing,” said Marcos Simon, CTO and Co-Founder of Audioscenic. “Precision-tuned Amphi Hi-D transforms conference calls, games, movies, music and more into immersive experiences, delivering an enveloping sphere of life-like sound.”

Audioscenic announces headphone audio support for the Amphi Suite

Audioscenic, the UK based spatial computing audio market leader, are proud to announce that Amphi – their best-in-class software package that integrates 3D audio beamforming technology with a wide range of consumer computing devices – now supports headphone processing. The update adds HRTF virtualisation for multichannel surround content giving users the ability to consume spatial audio through headphones and making the Audioscenic Amphi suite an even more versatile solution for spatial audio experiences.

“This software update is a much-needed addition to our suite, as PC ecosystem partners were requesting the ability to provide spatial audio reproduction through headphones and also to add customisation for their customers,” said Audioscenic CTO Marcos Simón. “Now, Audioscenic can offer a complete audio solution for all their customers including both speaker and headphone audio processing. Now, when consumers switch to headphones instead of speaker audio, they will still be able to consume spatial sound.”

Support for the Amphi Suite in Windows was announced early in June 2023 at the Computex trade show. At that time, Audioscenic announced the first implementation of their technology as a Windows APO that contained the Audioscenic 3D audio beamforming technology for spatial audio reproduction through speakers. With the newly added headphone components, users can enjoy spatial audio reproduction over headphones of multichannel surround audio and also personalise headphone EQ to a given headphone model.

The Audioscenic team is also working on future releases of the Amphi headphone technology, including the ability to perform dynamic head-tracking to provide an even more enhanced sound immersion. “With or without headphones, we’re creating a completely customizable spatial audio experience that is accessible to anyone without needing to heavily invest in audio hardware.” said David Monteith, Audioscenic CEO. “Audioscenic’s mission as a company is to make the everyday spatial audio experience a fact of life — integrating into anywhere in the house where you might hear audio and benefit from that immersion, be it with gaming, movies, or music listening.”

The Audioscenic team will be attending CES 2024, Las Vegas, where they will have a number of demo systems featuring the new Amphi Suite (laptops, monitors, desktop soundbars) and showcase new products based on the technology.

Audioscenic Announces Amphi – 3D Audio Beamforming Technology for Windows OS

Audioscenic, developers of innovative 3D audio beamforming technology, today announce the launch of the Amphi Windows Suite, a set of software packages that integrates the company’s Award-winning spatial audio technology into currently available laptop and desktop systems. Audioscenic will be demoing this technology at the Computex 2023 show in Taipei, Taiwan from Tuesday, May 30th to Friday, June 2nd.

“This is a major announcement for Audioscenic as it is a crucial next step in our goal of making spatial audio technology as accessible to consumers as possible without adding any additional hardware,” said Audioscenic CTO Marcos Simón. “Any Windows device with two speakers or more is now capable of a dramatically improved spatial audio experience without headphones, thus allowing consumers to better enjoy the immersive audio available in today’s games, films, and music.”

The software packages include an AI-powered head tracking app that utilises the built-in camera of a laptop to monitor the position of the user’s head in real-time and direct the audio beams accordingly, a control GUI that tailors the experience based on the type of media being consumed and also provides EQ control, and APO software that integrates Audioscenic processing in the Windows environment. Combined, the package provides hardware developers with a powerful tool to sculpt an individualised spatial audio experience for users utilising the existing infrastructure of commonly available laptop and desktop computers. Audioscenic initially debuted a version of this technology integrated into the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro soundbar at CES 2023 where it captured 12 ‘Best of CES’ awards. The Amphi Windows Suite expands the footprint of this technology dramatically and sets the stage for the next generation of integrations into consumer products.

“We’re proud of how our company has grown within the last year and are ambitiously pursuing the next generation of our technology within the consumer computing sphere,” said Audioscenic’s CEO David Monteith. “We are very excited at the possibilities that this new software package presents to potential hardware partners, and look forward to seeing how implementing it accordingly will create a new heightened spatial audio experience for consumers around the world.”
