they are used in top professional studios—the few that can afford them. Now
you can check your mixes on the state-of-the-art HR5 reference near-fields
or the 4-way
high-resolution
“no limits” HR1 far-fields.

Powered by Waves Nx® Immersive Audio Technology
Waves Nx uses channel crosstalk
inter-aural delays (ITD)
filters (ILD)
early reflections
and head motion tracking to replicate the immersive experience of hearing audio in the real world. All these are coupled with precision measurements of the acoustic response at the physical Ocean Way control rooms
to faithfully deliver the original monitoring experience.
Customize Your Mix Environment
Use the accurate emulation of Ocean Way’s acoustics
or dial in wetter or drier ambience. For personal adjustment of the 3D effect to your head/ear anatomy
enter your personal head measurements into the plugin’s head anatomy calibration section.
Track Your Head Movements for Enhanced Immersion
For the ultimate in realism
track head motion so that as you move your head
the sound changes as if you were moving your head in the studio. Track with your computer’s camera
or with the Nx Head Tracker for maximum accuracy.
