Kimio Hamasaki: 3D Masterclass

Saturday May 30, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am CEST

Aud 31

Kimio-san designed NHK’s 22.2 audio system and the
Hamasaki-cube, which is brilliant at capturing spatial
qualities of a concert hall. Attendees are treated to a
selection of high resolution 3D recordings from glorious
Japanese concert halls.

This masterclass series, featuring remarkable recording
artists, is a chance to hear 3D audio at its best; as we
discuss qualities that make it truly worth the effort.

In each masterclass, we explore the new spatial
possibilities in recording and production, detailing also
this specific listening room, regarding ITU-R BS.1116
compliance and auditory envelopment (AEV) transparency.
Seats are limited to keep playback variation at bay.
