Based at the UK’s University of Huddersfield, Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory was founded in 2013 by renowned spatial audio and psychoacoustic engineering expert, Professor Hyunkook Lee. The project’s mission was to push the boundaries of sound technology, focusing on how ofpsychoacoustics and immersive audio interact.
Key features of the new version include support for 53 speaker configurations, ranging from mono to Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D, seven virtual room presets, fully customizable acoustic settings, plus built-in HRTF and head tracking. The software currently provides EQ compensation for 100 headphone models, giving a personalized, high-fidelity listening experience across any setup.
Head-Related Transfer Function settings in APL Virtuoso are crucial for creating a natural and immersive listening experience. HRTF is a filter that models how an individual’s ears, head and torso affect the way sound reaches the eardrum from different directions. Users can either use one of the five presets built into Virtuoso or upload their personalized settings for an even more realistic adjustment.
With a newly developed 3D interactive GUI, users can better visualize speaker arrangements and customize their settings more intuitively. This improvement allows for more control over the mix. The new multichannel WAV/ADM player in the standalone app can be used for checking how stereo or immersive mixes would translate in various playback environments, it is also a useful quality control tool when working remotely with a client.
