We Call it Spatial Sound

Two instruments acting in sync.
When instruments act in sync, the client experiences a more stable and harmonic sound picture. By being able to coordinate their compression and other settings, Epoq instruments avoid uncoordinated shifts in instrument settings making sounds less muddled and more interwoven. The more complex the situation, the better Epoq performs.

It’s about establishing a natural spatial relationship with sounds.

Ultimately it’s about giving the brain the right signals. Epoq’s ground breaking technologies can now achieve what others have been unable to attain: processing sound with a sense of depth, distance and sound direction – Spatial Sound.

• Binaural real-time compression
  Interaural time differences (ITDs) are not the only key factors in perceiving spatial complexity. As documented by Singh et al (2007), interaural level differences, ILDs, also play an important role in sound localization. In Epoq, compression is coordinated between the two devices in a way that better preserves the ILDs.
• Extended bandwidth
  Access to high frequency information is another vital aspect of spatial hearing. While ITDs are predominantly a low-frequency phenomenon, ILDs first start reaching a magnitude of 5 dB at frequencies higher than about 1 kHz. At around 6 kHz they can reach 20 dB and more. So the more audibility is provided at higher frequencies, the more access is provided to locally favorable signal-to noise ratios at high frequencies.
• RITE
  Epoq’s RITE solution offers outstanding acoustics and fidelity by eliminating any potential spatial cue distortion attributed to standard tube and thin tube solutions.
