Audio object-based mixing systems revolutionize live sound by enabling precise spatial positioning and natural acoustics across entire venues. From system design fundamentals to advanced operation techniques, discover how to harness positioning planes and early reflection capabilities for immersive worship experiences and broadcasts.

Object-based mixing transforms traditional stereo sound into a fully immersive spatial audio experience. The system excels in creating natural, realistic sound environments that enhance both in-person and streaming worship experiences. The technology maps audio across multiple speakers to deliver consistent coverage while maintaining the true spatial positioning of instruments and voices.

The fundamental building blocks of a Soundscape system include positioning planes and early reflection zones. Positioning planes define the active areas where audio objects can be placed and moved within the space - think of it as creating an invisible canvas across your sanctuary where sound can be precisely positioned. Up to four positioning planes can be configured to match your venue's architecture and worship needs.

Early reflection planes work alongside positioning capabilities to create natural acoustic environments, particularly important for stage areas and worship spaces. When integrated with digital mixing consoles, the system enables intuitive control through features like quad panners that map directly to your venue's dimensions. This makes it possible to create dynamic, moving soundscapes that enhance the worship experience while maintaining clarity for both in-person and streaming audiences.
