3D Audio With Rapture3D

Rapture3D is all about 3D sound. With the march of 3D film and television, immersive virtual reality and gaming, it's about time for a real step forward in the quality of spatial audio. And we think we've achieved that.

Take a look at some more information about our 3D Audio technologies. Currently, these are used mainly to provide improved spatial imaging for games.

Editions

Rapture3D comes in three different editions:

• The "Game" edition comes packaged with some Windows games to provide superior 3D audio. It only works with those games.
• The "User" edition can be used to add superior 3D audio to a range of OpenAL-compatible games. It uses your main Windows audio outputs.
• The "Advanced" edition adds support for custom speaker layouts and high quality audio hardware using Steinberg ASIO.

3D Audio For Gaming

Rapture3D can be plugged into a range of OpenAL-compatible PC games to produce superior 3D game audio. It also ships with a number of titles.

3D Audio Playback

The Rapture3D "User" and "Advanced" editions also includes a specialist 3D audio player designed for use with Higher Order Ambisonic (HOA) soundfiles. These are pretty rare at present, but we think they're the future!
