Music Unit and its spin-off LESON are set to unveil DeepStereo, an immersive sound format in the Venetian Expo Hall G #60412 during CES 2025.
The company boasts this format fulfills a 50-year dream of immersing listeners into a soundscape, regardless of their equipment.
DeepStereo the company’s technologies and a cutting-edge tool to transform any mono or stereo file into a high-quality 3D immersive audio experience. Compatible with all headphones, speakers, and soundbars, this patented system performs real-time transformations without the need for complex installations or reliance on proprietary ecosystems.
According to the company, as demand for 3D audio soars, this universal standard marks the start of a transition as significant as the shift from mono to stereo half a century ago. DeepStereo doesn’t just simulate natural soundscapes; it unlocks new possibilities for creating, consuming, and experiencing music in fully immersive 3D environments—anytime, anywhere.
“We are proud to unveil DeepStereo at CES 2025. This technology offers artists and producers an unprecedented way to create 3D soundscapes,” comments Julien Chirol, co-founder of Music Unit and LESON.
“For instance, artists can precisely position instruments and effects within a three-dimensional space, adding depth and detail to their compositions. This enables listeners to feel uniquely connected to the music, as though they are enveloped by sound. Most importantly, DeepStereo truly democratizes immersive audio: it transforms any device into a 3D experience, anywhere and for everyone.”
The company asserts that Immersive audio is gaining tremendous popularity. Citing market research, the European technology company says that over 80% of Gen Z consumers report being willing to invest in 3D audio solutions if the experience delivers on its promise. But, Music Unit and LESON continue by suggesting current technologies fall short due to their complexity, high installation costs, reliance on closed ecosystems, and limited content availability. Additionally, sound quality often fails to deliver.
Addressing these issues, Music Unit and LESON explain that DeepStereo doesn’t simply “push” sound left or right like traditional stereo. Instead, it allows users to rediscover their music libraries, films, and video games with new auditory depth, without needing new devices or learning complex configurations.
Unlike the flat, limited sound of stereo, the company claims that DeepStereo immerses listeners in an acoustic bubble comparable to a live performance. This instantaneous, immersive, and quality experience provides natural, fluid soundscapes in any environment.
Addressing gaming applications, Music Unit and LESON add that DeepStereo creates sound immersion that improves gameplay. By precisely localizing sounds in a three-dimensional space, the format the company says, gives players a competitive edge and a more captivating experience.
