Key Features
The FLUX:: Ircam HEar is an audio conversion plug-in to convert multichannel mixes to Binaural. Faithfully reproduce a stereo or full surround mix up to 16 channel Binaural thanks to advanced Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) filters, even if your system has inadequate surround-sounding listening capabilities. Supporting Dolby Atmos, the Routing Grid lets you match your DAW outputs to the corresponding virtual speaker outputs to pan them appropriately for an accurate Binaural stereo image.
The plugin offers tools to enhance the binaural signal. Adjust the sound stage with the Angle Shift parameter for precise positioning of audio sources in the virtual space. Modify the perceived width of the binaural signal using the Speaker Width control to customize the stereo image. Add coherence and enhance spatial realism with the Space Preset feature, which provides a selection of room presets for a more immersive listening experience.

The FLUX Ircam HEar plug-in for Binaural mix translation offers a comprehensive set of parameters to shape and enhance your binaural listening experience. With the Routing Grid feature, you have full control over assigning each input channel to a virtual speaker. This allows you to create immersive audio environments in various formats, including 5.1 with LCR, LFE, left surround, and right surround. The Routing Grid ensures that the chosen format matches the intended spatial representation.
The Input Matrix adapts to the selected preset included with HEar, allowing you to fine-tune the input signals according to your specific requirements. This flexibility ensures optimal customization for your binaural mix.
To further refine the binaural signal, the plugin provides tools to shape the audio. The Angle Shift parameter enables you to adjust the sound stage, allowing you to position the audio sources precisely in the virtual space.
With the Speaker Width control, you can modify the perceived width of the binaural signal. This parameter empowers you to widen or narrow the stereo image, tailoring it to your preferences and project needs.
Adding coherence to your binaural rendering is made easy with the Space Preset feature. You can select a room preset that complements the audio content, enhancing the spatial realism and providing a more immersive listening experience.
Binaural audio technology encompasses a range of techniques used to capture, process, synthesize, and reproduce sound in a way that preserves the three-dimensional localization properties. It is specifically designed to create the illusion of sound originating from a particular direction.
To achieve this effect, a mono audio signal, which lacks spatial information on its own, is filtered through left and right Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) filters. These filters simulate the acoustic characteristics of the human ears and head, capturing the subtle cues that our auditory system uses to determine sound direction.
It's important to note that binaural audio is intended for headphone listening. The filtered signal is optimized for headphone playback, as it relies on the precise positioning of sound sources relative to the listener's ears. Binaural audio isn't designed for conventional stereo loudspeaker setups, as the spatial accuracy and immersive experience are best achieved through individualized headphone playback.
By leveraging binaural technology, listeners can enjoy a captivating and realistic audio experience where sound sources appear to come from specific locations around them. This immersive sensation adds depth, dimension, and a heightened sense of realism to audio content, making it particularly valuable for applications such as virtual reality, gaming, music production, and other multimedia experiences.
