SOUND XR IMAGE
Sound xR Image is an object-based sound image control system that precisely controls the location and direction of sound images within a space to deliver immersive audio experiences across a wide range of applications, including theatre, opera, concerts, installations and events.
SOUND XR ENHANCE
Sound xR Enhance is a sound field control system that enriches and optimises the resonance of sound by utilising the unique acoustic characteristics inherent to a building’s space, preserving the natural sound of instruments and vocals while controlling the reverberation and perceived volume of sound within the space, providing an acoustic environment suited to its purpose.
Sound xR Core
Sound xR Core is a virtual spatial audio processing engine for earphones/headphones. Within the application domain of xReality – a collective term for VR/AR/MR/SR – it enables interactive, high-fidelity sound localisation and soundscape design.

DISCOVER NEXO SYSTEMSSeamless workflow from content creation to output
Drawing on more than 50 years of spatial acoustics consulting experience, Yamaha Group Companies have come together to deliver a complete immersive audio workflow from sound design and content creation through to scalable delivery solutions. Renowned for its immersive mixing capabilities, it’s easy to create stunning content using Steinberg’s acclaimed Nuendo sound-design tools, with immersive system design facilitated by NEXO’s NS-1 configuration tool. Sound xR Image makes object-based mixing easy using industry-standard Yamaha production tools while NEXO brings a global reputation for expertise in professional loudspeaker systems.
From Onsite to Offsite
It is a goal of Sound xR to connect real with virtual environments. For example, using the real venue data to create 3D modelling for a virtual venue, and create a virtual event for an ‘off-site’ experience. Then, audiences can join from other platforms such as VR devices or smartphones and experience immersive audio via headphones. Or the reverse, reproduce virtual content at an on-site venue. The potential is only limited by the creators’ minds.

Sound xR brings immersive experiences to everyone, from concertgoers and theatre audiences to thrill seekers and diners.
