Fraunhofer IDMT Upgrades Ilmenau Advanced Audio Research Headquarters with Powersoft

The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) has upgraded the highly specialized audio setup at its Ilmenau headquarters, which includes a cutting edge object-based system for producing 3D sound, with the installation of Powersoft’s Ottocanali 4K4 DSP+D amplifier platforms. Fraunhofer IDMT - which focuses on applied research in the field of audiovisual media - is widely known for developing ground-breaking technologies for the digital media industry.

A special collaboration between Astro Spatial Audio (ASA) and Adamson Systems Engineering will allow visitors to experience true object-based 3D audio for live entertainment at Prolight+Sound 2017 (Frankfurt, Germany - April 4-7). Taking place in Hall 3.1, on booth H14, the two companies will combine their market-leading technologies to host a series of demonstrations using Adamson Point 8 enclosures driven by ASA’s recently launched SARA II Premium Rendering Engine.
