Immersive formats are very popular in film, music and other applications, but few control rooms are ideal for multichannel playback. The MA 1 Multichannel Extension is an essential tool for reference-quality monitoring and accurate room correction in surround and immersive setups with Neumann studio monitors.

Traditionally, control rooms have been designed for stereo playback. But adding speakers for immersive formats creates entirely new challenges. Many of the positions for additional speakers can be in acoustically disadvantageous locations. Spatial constraints often require deviations from the intended positions.

The MA 1 with Multichannel Extension is therefore an essential tool for achieving optimal sound in real-world environments. Even in control rooms designed specifically for immersive formats, accurate alignment improves the perceived accuracy of monitoring. The MA 1 not only linearizes the frequency response of the entire system, but also compensates for differences in level and arrival time, resulting in a truly immersive listening experience with accurate three-dimensional positioning.
