HOLOPHONIX Unveils Version 2.3 Software with Major Interoperability and Usability EnhancementsHOLOPHONIX announces the launch of its latest software update, Version 2.3, at the ISE trade show in Barcelona, Spain. Featuring two key advancements: enhanced interoperability and an intuitive "Wizard" for simplified setup. Visit the company's booth at ISE (#7J100 - Hall 7) to discover the latest HOLOPHONIX innovations. The primary goal behind the Version 2.3 update, the company says, is to simplify the way users interact with spatial sound technology -- making it as intuitive as mixing in mono or stereo. This new workflow aims to reduce the complexities that often come with integrating new spatial sound technologies into existing systems. "We've spent extensive time and effort working with our development team and key industry experts to ensure that this update makes the process as intuitive as possible," says Francesco Papaleo, application engineer at HOLOPHONIX. "The Wizard feature, a step-by-step interactive guide, makes it easy for users to go from opening the software to having sound coming through the speakers. The goal is to make the process seamless and as simple as traditional mixing workflows," adds Papaleo. The product expands compatibility with professional audio equipment, including seamless integration with Yamaha mixing consoles from the QL, CL, and DM series. Integration with the PM series will be available in an upcoming update. It also boasts enhanced interoperability, allowing for smooth integration with a variety of audio equipment commonly used in live performances, studio settings, and installations. Whether connecting to mixing consoles, digital audio or workstations (DAWs) the software ensures that users can easily connect and manage their audio setup offering sound engineers greater flexibility in their workflows. "Interoperability has been a key focus of this update," explains Papaleo. "Our aim is to ensure that HOLOPHONIX can integrate effortlessly with all the essential tools in an audio engineer's arsenal, whether it's a traditional console or a more sophisticated setup. This eliminates the headache of compatibility issues and makes the system accessible to a wide range of audio professionals. We have ambitious plans for the future of this Wizard, including a strong commitment to making it a conversational agent with built-in AI." "HOLOPHONIX stands out for its unparalleled flexibility and compatibility with any brand of loudspeakers. Designed as a versatile toolbox, HOLOPHONIX seamlessly integrates with other software and hardware used in the performing arts industry, making it an adaptable solution for venues of all kinds," the company says. "Unlike many competitors, HOLOPHONIX's spatialization technology is not restricted to Amadeus loudspeakers, offering users the freedom to use their preferred loudspeaker brands without compromising performance." One of HOLOPHONIX's distinguishing features is its ability to integrate into pre-existing workflows without adding complexity. The software is designed to work in harmony with current equipment and setups without requiring users to learn new complicated interfaces. "By focusing on compatibility and ease of use, we've ensured that sound engineers and professionals can adopt this new technology without disrupting their established routines," says Adrien Zanni, head of R&D at HOLOPHONIX. "This is a crucial advantage in an industry where time and efficiency are paramount." Unlike competitors who often limit their solutions to a single spatialization algorithm, HOLOPHONIX offers a suite of 15 different algorithms. This versatility allows users to choose the most suitable approach for their artistic context, whether for live performances, museum installations, or any other application. HOLOPHONIX offers the 2.3 update free of charge to all current software users as a download. This ensures users can benefit from the latest improvements at no additional cost, providing an up-to-date and optimized experience, the company says.
