Software and compatibility

User experience

  • SPAT lacks headtracking support for binaural monitoring, which may be a downside for users seeking immersive headphone experiences.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • SPAT's reverb and custom speaker setups are ideal for audio installations in irregularly shaped rooms or with atypical speaker arrangements.
