How does our technology work?

  "See with your own eyes ."

If you are technically curious, we invite you take a glimpse into the secret of our technology. First, we challenge you to look at the picture below, and see if you can see a 3D image appear.  Be patient...it takes some time...

Some of you may be familiar with 3D or Magic Eye pictures. The secret of seeing a 3D image is not to focus your gaze on one object,,,say a falling coin in the center of this picture.  By resisting your eyes natural tendency to focus, you force your eyes to process left image and right image independently. That is to say, your left eye processes only the left image and your right eye, the right image only. If you have not seen the 3D image yet, keep resisting and remain unfocused. It is quite amazing when it happens. All of sudden, another dimension opens up in front of your eyes.  Every coin glows vividly as if lit by morning sun.... It is quite beautiful.    

Our technology does exactly the same with your ears. Our audio signal circuitry processes audio signals so that your left ear hears only the left field  sound and your right ear, the right field sound. You will find your self surrounded by vivid sound image as if you are right in there...It is quite amazing!  

Another example is a headphone. Most everyone has had an experience of being impressed by the near perfect stereo images coming from a pair of inexpensive headphones. Although ear pieces are placed over left and right t ears, you hear various sounds coming from different distances. You can also hear the monophonic portion of the music distinctively, though unfortunately, the sound appears to come from the top of your head rather than in front of of you.

Our technology delivers multi-channel sound in a similar fashion. In addition, our audio signal circuitry offers two major advantages over the headphones. Very obvious advantage is the monophonic portion of the music. That sound will come from the center channel of the main speaker placed in front of you. It will not sound at the top of your head. Another and more significant advantage is that creation of depth. Our technology not only reproduce the horizontal left to right sound field but also the perspective front to back sound field. 

Other conventional 5-speaker home theater systems create five distinctly separated sound fields. You would notice the sound "jump" from one speaker to another speaker among five speakers. Why? This happens because human ears can hear the slight delay in its sound waves emitted from physically separated left and right speakers heard by your left and  right ear. Even if an original audio source recorded the continuous left-to-right sound image, when it is reproduced through physically separated left and right speakers, your brain hears it as non-continuous. Why? Because your brain detect a sound wave from the right speaker reach your right ear first, and a fraction of later, your left ear.    

The headphone does not cause this delay. Because the sound waves coming out of the left earpiece will never reach the right ear. No delay will be detected so you hear a smooth transition from left to right.

Our technology does the same thing as the headphone in a open space.  We make sure that the right ear hears only the right field sound and vise versa for the left ear. We accomplishes this task by combining our proprietary electronic audio signal processing technology with physical speaker driver configurations. 

Does Binaura system require specially recorded audio source? The answer is a definite "NO". All contemporary stereo and multi channel recordings are made with all necessary information to recreate the original horizontal and perspective dimensions. Binaura system simply takes full advantage of the available recorded information and delivers the original recording at its best. Binaura system never rely on a secondary effect forced by the physical separations of left, center and right speakers.

Thank you.
