AES Europe 2026

As spatial audio moves to a consumer standard, the demand
for sophisticated design frameworks has never been higher.
This panel brings together key contributors from the
recently published "Immersive Sound Volume II: The Design
and Practice of Binaural and Multi-Channel Experiences" to
bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world
production. The session will explore the recent and
developing trends and practices of immersive audio,
focusing on the core design principles that define modern
binaural and multi-channel workflows. Panelists will
discuss themes from the text, including current guiding
principles and system design, and the creative practice of
building immersive sound experiences. Through a mix of case
studies and technical perspectives, the authors will
provide insights into a roadmap for engineers and creators
looking to master the immersive soundstage.
