" This is not just another B-format decoder," explains Svein Berge, inventor of the harpex algorithm, " while research on high-resolution B-format processors has been going on for at least fifteen years, this is the first time that this class of processing has been shaped into a useful product."
* Precise rendering of the frontal stage in 5.1 surround with good channel separation.
* Emulating non-coincident microphone techniques like ORTF or AB with a single, compact microphone unit.
* Adjusting the ratio between reverberant and direct sound.
* Emulating high-resolution 3D dummy head recordings.
* Isolating sound sources through sharp spatial filtering.
