New Audio Technology Spatial Sound Card Pro

Surround monitoring with your favorite headphones
Our software-based virtual sound card lets you monitor stereo audio files and up to 7.1 surround sound using binaural loudspeaker systems with regular headphones over the computer.
You can easily check channel allocation in the SSC by downloading the channel check files and playing them back through a media player like VLC.

The Spatial Sound Card Pro (SSC Pro) works as the standard audio device on a computer and will receive audio files automatically. It offers more than 70 binaural room virtualizations from a constantly growing number of high-end studios and dub stages like ARRI Stage One, MSM Munich and many others. The technology featured in the SSC Pro has been used for major Blu-ray releases such as The Expendables I-III, The Fifth Element, and Kraftwerk 3D.

To optimize virtualization, the SSC Pro offers sensitive parameters for individualization. This includes the ability to customize the frequency curve of whatever headphones are used. Presets for a lot of well-known headphone models are also included.

The SSC Pro doesn’t do “upmixing” or fake-surround processing; instead, it provides a natural and emotionally stimulating listening experience in stereo or surround sound with very precise positional audio reproduction.

The SSC Pro works with all computer applications that support up to 7.1 audio output, including media players like VLC and FLAC as well as video/audio workstations, games, and 360/VR applications.

The SSC Pro is recommended for use by media professionals working in the audio, music, 360/VR, video, gaming, and/or multimedia sectors as well as any other fields that need workstations equipped with high-quality audio monitoring capabilities.

Features

• Easy-to-install software
  The SSC Pro is a piece of easy-to-install software that will automatically work as the default audio device on both Mac and Windows computers.

• Single-player solution
  Computer applications will feed into the SSC Pro instantly and with up to 7.1 surround sound, if possible.

• Real measured studio environments
  The SSC Pro’s binaural processing systems are based on real measured loudspeaker systems to allow for realistic monitoring capabilities and mixes that also sound perfect over real loudspeakers.

• Multiple language options
  17 different language settings.

• Output management
  Besides channel calibration and monitoring, the SSC Pro features an output limiter to control dynamics and prevent overloads.

• Headphone compensation
  Access over 40 frequency calibration profiles of well-known headphone models.

Flexible Format Selection
The SSC can be set easily to the format the user wants. The playback stays in its format so a stereo input keeps being stereo, also if the SSC is set to 5.1.

7.1 Input Routing
Different from 5.1, 7.1 is often delivered in different channel allocations that the user can compensate by a flexible routing and preset creation.

Flexible Monitoring
The user can control and calibrate the virtual loudspeaker monitoring discreetly to check the content of every channel input and output instantly.

Output Level Control
A flexible output limiter prevents application output overloads from multi-channel summing.
