Spatial audio sound systems simulate real-world sound waves with precise realism. These devices incorporate spatial audio for collaborative tools, simulations, and gaming to deliver key sound and feedback for users. For example, those using a flight simulator can use 3D sound to locate a fault signal or briefing intercom.
