Sienna Sphere is a plug-in suite that can convert immersive Bed tracks with Dolby Atmos™ into binaural tracks for headphone monitoring without the need for a complete multi-speaker setup.
The immersive audio provides the listener with an entirely natural and three-dimensional sound experience.
At a glance
• Binaural processing modes
Sienna Sphere can receive different input configurations (speaker arrangement) and turn them to binaural audio to allow the listening of a 3D file in headphones. The software is not limited to the binaural translation of the horizontal and frontal planes only, but you can now perceive the directivity of the upper, rear, central and lateral speakers.
• Headphones correction
Using Sienna Sphere with supported headphones, you will be able to hear all the dimensions of a surround mix with surprising realism.
Sienna Sphere uses algorithms to improve the frequency response of the most popular circumaural and in-ear headphones to make the listening experience even more realistic, without artifacts.
• Room emulations
Sienna Sphere allows you to choose your ideal listening environment from a collection of available sampled recording studios.
If you own one or more Sienna additional volume/s, you will be able to use the rooms in Sienna Sphere as well. The Sienna room emulations are compatible with Sienna Sphere.
What you get
• Sienna Sphere plug-in.
• A total of 79 sampled speakers in different configurations ( 2.0 – 7.1.2 – 7.1.4 – 7.1.6 – 9.1.4 – 9.1.6).

About the Dolby Atmos™ technology
• Atmos™ masters can be played back on 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, 9.1.2 playback systems, a full-blown cinema configuration, a headphone binaural, or any other configurations that support Atmos™ playback without the need for any adjustments thanks to the use of Audio Definition Model (ADM) following the ITU BS.2076-2.
For mixing in Dolby Atmos™, two software components are necessary:
1. An Audio Host (DAW or NLE) application with ADM and objects support. - Ableton Live.
- Apple Logic Pro.
- Avid Pro Tools Ultimate.
- Blackmagic DaVinci.
- Cockos Reaper.
- Merging Pyramix.
- Steinberg Nuendo.
2. The Dolby Atmos™ Renderer application. The renderer has the task of turning the delivered individual signals into an audible event using the supplied metadata. Listening to your AtmosTM mixes is made possible with the renderer, and the renderer generates various target formats. NOTE: Remember that Nuendo and Logic Pro have their own Atmos™ renderer.
You can request a time-limited trial for a Dolby AtmosTM Renderer application here: https://developer.dolby.com/forms/dolby ... ite-trial/.
We suggest referring to the Sienna Sphere manual for more technical details and configuration.

Tips
- The Sienna Sphere binaural engine can also be used by Sienna users as it is improved over the binaural version of Sienna.
