Sound Solution has been appointed exclusive representative of Astro Spatial Audio (ASA) in South Korea.
The agreement – finalised at the Koba exhibition in Seoul – will see Sound Solution bring the full range of ASA’s true object-based immersive technologies to the Korea market for the first time, including the Sara II Premium Rendering Engine.
The Sara II Premium Rendering Engine offers robust and scalable, easy-to-operate object-based immersive audio plus adaptive room acoustics to the live entertainment sector.
With the agreement in place, Seoul-based Sound Solution will host demonstrations for its customers, including at the forthcoming KoSound exhibition. Each demonstration will allow attendees to experience what it calls ‘ground-breaking audio technology with intuitive control and solutions to suit every requirement’.
‘It is incredible to experience real object-based audio with the Astro Spatial Audio system, and to then realise how easy it is to operate – to have all of that processing power literally at your fingertips,’ says Sound Solution President, Lee Hong. ‘The introduction of this system is a milestone that represents a new era in audio and we are ready to bring it to customers with the excellence in technical understanding and service for which we are known.’
‘Sound Solution is renowned not just for the brands it represents, but also for the expertise of everyone who works for the company, and the care and respect with which all Sound Solution customers are treated,’ says Astro Spatial Audio Director, Bjorn van Munster. ‘With their efforts, I believe that Astro Spatial Audio has a very bright future in South Korea.’
