Amadeus Acoustics launches Amadeus Immersive Sound Next Generation at ISE 2026

Amadeus Acoustics is launching Amadeus Immersive Sound Next Generation at ISE 2026.

At the centre of this is the Immersive Performance module, ART::IP. Developed in response to increasingly complex venue architectures and rising creative expectations, ART::IP moves immersive sound beyond single-zone concepts into a scalable, multi-zone, three-dimensional spatial platform.

While previous immersive solutions delivered spatialisation in standard room layouts, ART::IP is engineered for real-world complexity: multiple audience zones, varied loudspeaker functions, optimised algorithms for acoustically challenging areas such as under balconies, and hybrid stage–surround systems.

Shaped by user feedback from immersive installations, it introduces a fundamentally new immersive engine that differentiates between performer-focused stage systems and fully spatial loudspeaker systems.

For example, ART::IP allows the main PA and immersive surround systems to operate within a single coherent design while retaining distinct processing roles: the PA functions as a performer-focused stage system, while spatial loudspeakers provide envelopment and motion without relying on a central audience sweet spot. The operator controls this behaviour at the source level via a simple switch.

Additionally, unlike earlier immersive deployments, ART::IP is designed for independent setup and operation, enabling consultants and engineers to configure and adapt systems themselves.

Venue models from EASE or other 3D CAD formats can be imported directly, allowing the full 3D layout of the room, loudspeakers, and audience zones to be visualised and edited. Speakers and spatial behaviours can be placed, moved, or repurposed freely, including multi-function use within the same design, either graphically or via precise coordinates.

ART::IP provides a unified 3D environment where venues, loudspeakers, and sources are visualised, edited, and optimised together, visually and acoustically, all controlled through the ART::Director software platform.

ART::Director transforms immersive system management into a fully three-dimensional environment, with drag-and-drop source placement, precise coordinate input, and advanced auto-Z algorithms for vertical positioning. Deep OSC integration and an integrated OSC Translator allow virtually any external control system or tracking solution to interface with ART::IP, ensuring adaptability and transparency throughout the lifetime of an installation.

Behind the entire experience sits ART::DSP, the multi-channel engine designed to handle the world’s most complex acoustic environments with zero compromise. ART::DSP delivers up to 512 I/O with 256 input and output channels, supported by a fully integrated 256×256 delay and gain matrix, extensive EQ, dynamics, and advanced signal processing.

ART::DSP balances the physics of a room with the emotional demands of performance. Modular and licenseable, it anchors all ART modules, from acoustic reflections to spatial objects, ensuring synchronisation, clarity, and scalability.
