Dive Deep Into Spatial Audio Production

Bring your production to the next level with the state-of-theart spatializer. Experience total control, whether mixing in multi-channel speaker formats up to 7.1.4 and 9.1.6, binaural, or Ambisonics. Being inserted in the audio track, dearVR PRO 2’s ultra-precise early reflection and reverb engine adds another layer of spatial experience, leading to true-to-life sounding productions with natural depth that puts you in the center of the sound.

Overview

Simulating distance in spatial audio productions is essential when creating authentic 3D spaces, not just one spherical plane with a fixed distance around the listener. dearVR PRO 2’s distance simulation unlocks this natural depth perception for multi-channel formats and lets you place the sound even behind the speakers. Dear Reality’s advanced dearVR CORE engine results in best-in-class externalization and true-to-life immersion. The engine lets you create spatial audio productions with an accurate perception of direction, distance, reflections, and reverb.

Stereo, Binaural, Ambisonics, and MultiChannel Loudspeaker Outputs

dearVR PRO 2 is the all-in-one spatializing for professional audio productions, offering state-of-the-art binaural, Ambisonics, and 35 multi-channel loudspeaker output formats up to 9.1.6. Its ultra-precise early reflection and reverb engine add another layer of immersive experience, leading to true-to-life sounding productions that put the listener in the center of the sound.

Direct Access and Total Control

Place your listener in the center of the sound! Drag your mouse around using dearVR PRO 2’s graphical XYZ-pad to position audio sources anywhere in the immersive soundstage surrounding the listener. Behind or in front, above or below, to the left or right, closer or farther away. dearVR PRO 2 enables you to position stereo tracks and easily alter the stereo image using the width knob, making the plugin the perfect bed-spatializer for advanced stem productions.

Vivid Virtual Acoustic Environments

dearVR PRO 2 provides 46 virtual acoustic presets that are perfectly suited for professional needs. Choose from many various room models– from a small car to a large church – each offering unique spatial imaging and depth. The filter module, consisting of a high- and low-cut filter, expands the versatility and reduces unwanted rumbling or harsh frequencies.

Real-Time Auralization

Early reflections, caused by sound waves bouncing off their environment, provide crucial clues to a listener about where a sound is coming from. dearVR PRO 2’s Real-Time Auralization feature adjusts the timing and directionality of early reflections dynamically as you alter the acoustic characteristics of the virtual environment or as you pan a sound around in space.

Patented Clarity Feature by Sennheiser AMBEO

The Clarity algorithm allows you to minimize colorations resulting from the binaural rendering and individually adjust an optimal balance between the externalized spatial perception and the overall tonal preservation. This can be especially useful for musical instruments and the human voice and paves the way for a barrier-free transfer to regular stereo loudspeakers.

Head Tracking with SPATIAL CONNECT ADAPTER

Besides the already established connection to the dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT VR controller, dearVR PRO 2 can now be connected to any third-party OSC head tracker. Using the included SPATIAL CONNECT ADAPTER application and a compatible OSC head tracker, you benefit from an extended head tracking control and a much more natural way to judge immersive productions.
