What is 3D soundstage™ audio?

By definition, the soundstage allows the listener to hear the location of instruments when listening to a given piece of music. 3D Soundstage™ is technology and software which can convert mono or stereo audio to 3D soundstage audio™ automatically in real time.

Billions of people listen to music every day — in the car, at home, on our phones — but the music we listen to provides few spatial cues, so we cannot determine the sound source direction of individual performers unlike when we are on a stage or at a concert. To address this problem, LCT invented 3D audio technology which can automatically convert mono or stereo to 3D soundstage™ audio in real time with recreated spatial cues so that our brain can virtually perceive sound direction just like in real life.

Furthermore, LCT developed a 3D Soundstage™ software library to support implementation on smartphones, headphones, smart speakers, headphones, and more. Now, given recorded or streaming music, you can hear that instrument and vocal tracks are isolated in different spatial locations like on a stage or at a concert. For example, drums are in the front right, piano is in the front left, vocals in the front, and bass in the back. Furthermore, we invented an exciting new way for the listener to configure the sound file and change the locations of the instruments or listeners, dynamically, using an interactive GUI.

What are the benefits of 3D soundstage™ audio compared to surround or spatial audio?

Compared to surround sound and spatial audio, 3D Soundstage™ audio has the following advantages: (1) No need to remaster or re-record music to multitrack. Our software converts any audio or music automatically. (2) No need for special hardware or increased bandwidth. Ours is a software only solution. All computation is done on local devices such as a smartphone or on cloud API. (3) The 3D sound effects are much better than existing audio technology. (4) Users can configure the sound field for a new way to enjoy music. (5) Supports earphones or loudspeakers applications. (6) Reduce meeting fatigue and increase speech intelligibility in videoconference applications. (7) Enjoy hi-quality 3D audio with earphones and loudspeakers.

Do I need to use earphones to experience 3D Soundstage™ audio?

When you listen to music on a smartphone or laptop, you need to wear earphones. When you have multiple speakers, the technology will generate a virtual 3D sound field, so you can experience 3D Soundstage™ audio without wearing earphones. Please contact us to discuss your solutions.

3D Soundstage™ Audio Software and Services

LCT’s 3D Soundstage™ audio software can now be licensed for smartphone, mobile device, embedded system, laptop, desktop, home and in-car sound system, and cloud applications. The software can convert mono/stereo to 3D soundstage™ audio to support real-time listening with or without wearing earphones. In the second scenario, multiple loudspeakers are needed. LCT’s engineers will provide technical support to ensure a smooth and quick implementation and transition. LCT also offers turnkey solutions to existing products, services, and applications. In most cases, there is no need to change any hardware. Please contact: admin@licreativetech.com to discuss your needs.
