For my day to day, I do like a large screen to work on, but I’m often relying on headphones to channel sound to my ear. When no one else is at home, though, it can be nice to put sound through some external speakers. If you’d like that to be an all-in-one solution (and yes, that would be me), the new Audioscenic Hi-D 3D Sound Monitor might be what you’re looking for.
Is this an Audioscenic-branded offering?
What’s surprising here, at least to me, is that no, the Audioscenic Hi-D 3D Sound Monitor is not necessarily identified as coming from the UK-based brand. On the other hand, if you’re launching to an American audience, it sort of makes sense to launch it with one of the most well-known computing brands: Dell.
Why you might want this
The Audioscenic Hi-D 3D Sound Monitor has a built-in speaker array at the base of the monitor, sort of a standard configuration we’re used to seeing on monitors with speakers. In the past, those speakers have been, well, a bit lackluster. What Audioscenic is offering here is something that’s powered by AI, and creates a spatial landscape. In theory, this flat plane of speakers will create an immersive 3D soundscape that follows you as you move, allowing you to be fully immersed in your music, movie, or game.
What Audioscenic says about the monitor
Audioscenic Amphi Hi-D delivers listener position-adaptive High-Dimensional sound, setting a new benchmark in spatial audio. Using the built-in webcam as a Machine Learning AI powered sensor, Amphi senses the alignment of the listener’s ears relative to the monitor screen. This positional data enables beamforming, and drives a process called cross-talk cancellation that unlocks spatial cues to deliver optimized 3D sound to the listener. Compared to conventional 2-channel stereo systems, Hi-D provides superior control over 3D sound reproduction through advanced cross-talk cancellation across multiple speakers. Hi-D offers an enhanced user experience with more uniform frequency response, wider cancellation spectrum, increased loudness, and reduced reflections.
Wrapping things up
Even without the sound functionality (which sounds pretty amazing), the display is a 31.5″ QD-OLED, which should deliver an amazing look at whatever it is you’re doing, whether it’s coding, hacking away in a spreadsheet, or blowing off some steam in a AAA title video game. For more details, head on over to Audioscenic, or their collaboration partner, Dell. It looks like it comes in at $799.99, which beats other QD-OLED displays on price, and that’s before you get into the beam-tracking tech to keep you immersed in the sound.
