iyo vad pro

  • VAD stands for Virtual Auditory Display - it's iyO's breakthrough in audio spatialization with high precision. When paired with VAD filters in VAD Software, VAD enables you to create and render truly personalized immersive audio.

  • What makes VAD unique from spatial audio is that it can render a continuous virtual auditory scene, rather than just single virtual loudspeaker locations outside your head.

  • Use VAD PRO and VAD Software to listen and create stereo and spatial music in any DAW including Logic, ProTools, Ableton, and Reaper. Spatial music creation depends on DAW. Please see your DAW’s manual for further information and compatibility details.

  • Because of its USB-C connector, VAD PRO is not compatible with audio bodypacks. If you would really like this feature, or if you have any questions about device compatibility or how to integrate VAD PRO and VAD Software into your workflow, please let us know at support@iyo.audio.

  • we will first allow only cloud apps from third party developers. given that edge app design for wearables is so sophisticated for power management and connectivity reasons, for the time being we are keeping all edge app development internal to iyo.
