3D for Headphones
In most cases music recordings are mixed and mastered for speakers. Played through headphones
it results in a sound-field perspective of playback inside our heads, which leads to an unnatural,
fatiguing and stressful listening experience.
If heard by one ear only, sounds from the left and right stage result in extreme stereo separation that shrinks the perceived soundstage
width to right over or even in-between the ears. Distance cues intended by inter-ear delay of even sounds that do make it to both ears
are also destroyed. Using a suitable correction system, the music can be relocated outside our heads and projected in front of us
spatially wide
and
high, to introduce a listening experience comparable to what a good pair of speakers does.
iFi audio ZEN CAN incorporates 3D analogue filtering technology that:
o creates stereo image truly out of your head, with spatially realistic depth and width
o doesn’t introduce any colouration or resolution loss
o is based solely on analogue circuitry (no DSP!)
o works regardless of a listener’s anatomy and hearing.
