How does
beyerdynamic virtual studio work?

beyerdynamic Virtaul Studio was developed by us especially for reference monitoring purposes. In cooperation with ITA Aachen (Institut für Technische Akustik) and the famous Aachener Kunstkopf the sound engineers of beyerdynamic have created "acoustic photos" of different loudspeaker systems in different rooms. For this purpose, a sinusoidal signal was sent through each individual loudspeaker and picked up again through the artificial head in the ideal listening position.

With this method, not only the loudspeaker system and the spatiality are taken into account, but also how the sound waves break from different angles at the head of the listener (Head Related Transfer Function). This creates an acoustic image of the loudspeaker systems in their actual surroundings. The impulse responses calculated from this form the basis of the software.

The bVS plug-in is loaded into the mastering section of the music software as the last effect. With the help of impulse responses, bVS calculates via the so-called convolution principle how an audio track or signal sounds on the corresponding loudspeaker in the respective environment and from the ideal position.
