Ceva, Inc. and THX Ltd. announce RealSpace Tuned by THX, a premium software offering for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to add support for immersive spatial audio customized to any consumer or prosumer audio device including TWS earbuds, wireless headphones, smartphones, speakers, and soundbars.
RealSpace Tuned by THX, featuring Ceva’s RealSpace spatial audio rendering and head tracking solution, will offer a THX-tuned and optimized audio experience for each OEM device, providing the best possible out-of-the-box experience for the consumer. This Ceva software offering, which is tuned by THX, also includes for the OEM device a variety of curated spatial audio presets for most content types including gaming, movies, music, and speech, further elevating the user experience.
THX Ltd., founded by Lucas Films 40 years ago, is a globally recognized mark of high-fidelity audio excellence. THX first brought today’s high global standards for audio certification to cinemas and has expanded to deliver this in the home theater, gaming, and mobile device sectors. OEMs choosing RealSpace Tuned by THX, will be able to leverage this mark of high fidelity to appeal to both existing and new audiences who today demand the best in audio reproduction so they can experience entertainment the way the creator intended it to be enjoyed.
RealSpace spatial audio rendering software provides the most accurate digital simulation of real-life, immersive sound in the industry. Its proprietary algorithms create a realistic aural experience through as little as two-channel stereo audio while supporting full multi-channel and ambisonics. With dynamic head tracking Sensor Fusion Algorithms enabled, the RealSpace user experience is even more immersive, as the sound sources are held stationary while the user’s head is moving, simulating listening experiences in the real world. This allows the user to experience theater-like sound through headphones or earbuds when watching movies, playing video games, or listening to music, podcasts, or conference calls.
Ceva offers three versions of its RealSpace software to OEMs, all of which will include a “Tuned by THX” option: RealSpace Personal for DSP and MCU-based TWS earbuds and wireless headphones; RealSpace Mobile for smartphone-based systems delivering multi-channel sound to connected TWS earbuds and headphones; RealSpace Ambient for Bluetooth and USB speakers and soundbars to provide immersive spatial audio sound;
At CES 2024 in Las Vegas Jan 9 – 12, 2024, Ceva will demonstrate its RealSpace Tuned by THX software delivering immersive, multichannel spatial audio sound for headphones in its private meeting suite at the Westgate Hotel. To experience the demo, contact the Ceva events team and book an appointment.
