Natural sound field is a vital part of creating illusion as well as visual effects. Audio could be transferred trough headphones like in many virtual systems. Separate loudspeakers have though some advantages. There is no need to carry anything to hear and especially feel the sound. It also removes need to observe person's head position and does not need any person specific modifications, like good binaural systems. By using multiple loudspeakers it is easy to simulate natural sounds from any direction, including top and bottom.

Highest priority was on wide dynamics that is important with many simulations. Dynamic system is capable of producing very low as well as high sound pressures with good sound quality. Another objective was to widen frequency response downwards far beyond 20 Hz which is very uncommon in most commercial systems. That gives a possibility to simulate heavy objects and machines that naturally produce low frequencies.

Present audio system consists of eight separate channels plus one low frequency channel. All main channels are identical and they are located in the corners of the virtual cube. Subwoofer has sixteen 18" elements and they are aligned to form an exponential horn with the room for improved performance.
