Front-Sided Sound Field Modulation Technology
At a concert, in conversation, or at home with a stereo speaker system, we hear sound coming from the front. When sound comes from the side, we instinctively turn our head so that we can hear the sound coming from the front again. This corresponds to our hearing behavior and allows us to perceive sound accurately and without distortion.
In conventional headphones, the transducers are positioned so that the sound comes directly from the left and right. This creates a sound field next to the ear. The result: the sound reaches the ear distorted.
Front-sided Sound Field Modulation positions the transducers in the headphones at an angle in front of the ear. It projects the sound waves as if they were coming from a source in front of us.
Our ears are designed to process sound optimally from the front. When listening with Front-sided Sound Field Modulation, the individual geometry of our ears is utilized to shape the frequency response arriving at the eardrum. This allows us to perceive sound as undistorted as possible.
