Spatia 2D

Spatia 2D is a powerful new object-based spatial audio software application developed for the Violet Audio dMix 128 digital mixing system. Engineered to simplify immersive production while delivering the precision demanded by today’s professional engineers, Spatia enables intuitive placement, movement, and automation of audio objects throughout a multi-speaker environment.

As immersive audio becomes increasingly common across concerts, theatrical productions, themed entertainment, broadcast facilities, corporate events, and permanent installations, production companies have often been forced to choose between expensive proprietary ecosystems or traditional stereo workflows. Spatia bridges that gap by bringing sophisticated object-based spatial 2D mixing to the dMix 128 platform at a price point accessible to a far broader segment of the professional audio industry.

Rather than assigning signals to fixed speaker buses, engineers work directly with audio objects that can be freely positioned, moved, grouped, and automated throughout a two-dimensional sound field. The result is a more natural and engaging listening experience while dramatically expanding creative possibilities for live productions.

Spatia 2D supports systems with up to 24 freely positioned loudspeaker outputs, allowing users to design loudspeaker layouts that match virtually any venue. Engineers can create custom movement paths, automate trajectories using an integrated timeline, and synchronize performances through MIDI, Timecode, and OSC, making the software equally comfortable in live productions, theatrical performances, installations, broadcast environments, and studio applications.

Working seamlessly with the dMix 128, Spatia 2D leverages the console’s powerful DSP architecture, low-latency audio engine, scalable I/O, browser-based control environment, and modern AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 networking capabilities to create a complete immersive production platform. Advanced panning algorithms, flexible grouping and routing, scene and cue recall, and real-time control of object position, depth, and width provide engineers with precise control over every performance while ensuring repeatability from show to show.
