[NAMM] Sensaphonics 3D Active Ambient IEM System

The patent application was originally filed over five years ago and includes a total of 50 specific claims for the 3D system.

The system starts with a pair of custom IEMs, then adds embedded miniature microphones in the earpieces to pick up ambient sound, routing that binaural signal to a bodypack, where it is combined with the monitor mix at the wearer’s desired level. This is designed to allow the musician to hear full-range ambient sound with accurate tone and directionality, with both earphones inserted.

With formal patent protection in place, Sensaphonics says it is open to licensing its 3D Active Ambient technology to appropriate partners. Interested parties are invited to demo the 3D system and meet with two of the inventors at the upcoming NAMM Show in Anaheim, January 19–22, 2012. Sensaphonics will be located in Hall A, Booth 6950.
