Beamforming Surround Sound

Razer Beamforming Surround Sound

THE NEXT INNOVATION IN 3D AUDIO

In partnership with immersive audio pioneers, THX, and leading 3D audio experts, Audioscenic, a new breakthrough is pushing the limits of immersion with precise, personalized audio - one without the limiting trade-offs of traditional surround sound systems.

THE TRADITIONAL TRADE-OFF

  • MULTI-SPEAKER SYSTEMS
    Surround Sound Over Space

    PROS CONS
    - A fuller audio experience - Expensive
    - Large space required
    - Complex setup and cable management

  • SOUNDBARS
    Space Over Surround Sound

    PROS CONS
    - Compact
    - Easy to setup    		 - Poorer positional audio
    and soundstaging

A NEXT-GEN SOLUTION

The challenge of ‘surround sound versus space’ has inspired the design of our most advanced soundbars, ensuring a fuller audio experience that’s easy to set up and accommodate.

BALANCING QUALITY AND SPACE

  • Beamforming Technology with AI Head-Tracking And THX® Spatial Audio

    Ensures precise positional audio and soundstaging just like multi-speaker setups.

  • Streamlined Design
    and Setup

    Single USB connection with a modest footprint that fits well within your desk space.

AI HEAD-TRACKING

Armed with a cutting-edge AI tracking system and infrared camera, the soundbar is able to locate the user and detect the position of their ears, regardless of lighting conditions.

Images from the IR camera are fed through a deep neural network processor, which can accurately estimate where your ears are in relation to the soundbar. Once the user position has been updated, the captured images are immediately discarded. As the USB connection from the soundbar to the PC only transports audio and controls for Razer Synapse and does not have a camera interface, the images will never leave the soundbar and there is no way to access any image information.

BEAMFORMING SURROUND SOUND

Driven by AI head-tracking, the soundbar utilizes Audioscenic’s beamforming technology to create a personal, virtual soundstage that ensures you’re always in the sweet spot. This is achieved through a process called constructive and destructive interference.

CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE Two soundwaves of the same phase and amplitude travel in the same direction, resulting in a larger amplitude to produce louder sound.

DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE Two soundwaves of opposite phase and amplitude travel in the same direction, reducing sound or cancelling each other out.

THX® SPATIAL AUDIO

To bring out the full potential of its beamforming technology, the soundbar is armed with THX Spatial Audio for an immersive, wider soundscape. THX Spatial Audio can be experienced with two 3D audio modes.

THX® SPATIAL AUDIO VIRTUAL HEADSET Ideal for any two-channel content. With this enabled, you can experience the pinpoint positional audio found in headsets.

THX® SPATIAL AUDIO VIRTUAL SPEAKERS Ideal for any content with a multi-channel audio source. With this enabled, you can experience a wide, room-filling soundstage you’d only expect with traditional 5.1 or 7.1 home theatre systems.
