The playSeries transfers HEAD acoustics' binaural expertise to playback, ensuring that acoustic measurement data is level-correct, equalized, and accurate to the human ear—far beyond what software-based analyses alone can achieve. Only HEAD acoustics offers the entire binaural signal chain, from recording and analysis to playback in this quality.
playPro is the binaural playback device for everyday work in development and testing, bringing the precision of a listening studio directly to the desk. With two independently equalized headphone outputs, playPro enables engineers, project managers, and decision-makers to listen to the same acoustic scene simultaneously—each with technically correct, customized equalization.
playPro forms a calibrated system together with individually calibrated headphones, ensuring reproducible sound evaluations across teams and locations. It is the ideal tool for collaborative decision-making in sound quality, NVH engineering, and product sound development.
playPro works with ArtemiS SUITE Player and SQala and seamlessly integrates into the B2U app. This enables convenient distribution of binaural scenes among all your colleagues and partners.
