Headzone Home with Head Tracking system offers digital 5.1 virtural surround sound via a match set of beyerdynamic headphones. Using a single digital cable, the receiver or DVD player is connected to Headzone; the lightning fast, automatic configuration to the correct audio mode promises limitless personal video enjoyment. The highlight of Headzone Home HT is the patented head tracking system. Plug and play. Using ultrasound sensors and the computing power of the digital signal processors, this ensures that, even with the turning of the head, speakers, instruments or noises in the film continue to come from the direction that the producer intended. The virtual speakers do not turn with you; Headzone Home reproduces the entire acoustic reality of speakers placement in the listening room.
