The Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) has announced that Spatial9, an AI-powered immersive audio platform delivering immersive mix production, has joined the Alliance. As a member of AOMedia, Spatial9 will collaborate with the Alliance’s community of internet and media technology member companies to drive open standards for video, audio, and multimedia advancements worldwide.
As a newly welcomed member of AOMedia, Spatial9’s audio technology experts will aid AOMedia’s efforts in creating open audio codecs that deliver high-quality sound for modern multimedia applications, including AOMedia’s Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF) container specification.
“At Spatial9, we’re on a mission to redefine immersive audio by harnessing the power of AI to deliver studio-grade, emotionally resonant experiences at scale. Our platform transforms sound into a sensory journey — empowering creators to produce release-ready immersive mixes in minutes, not days. As pioneers of an industry-defining immersive audio platform, we recognise the importance of next-gen media formats in shaping the future of entertainment. By joining AOMedia, we’re proud to collaborate with industry leaders to accelerate innovation and unlock groundbreaking user experiences,” said Luiz Zanardo, Co-Founder and CEO, Spatial9
“AOMedia and its open source standards are reshaping the media industry—empowering creators, breaking down barriers, and fueling innovation through collaboration, transparency, and shared tools that belong to everyone,” commented Alan Silva, Co-Founder and CTO, Spatial9.
“As an Immersive Mixing Engineer, I’ve witnessed the evolution of immersive audio firsthand — starting from the early days of surround sound. Each step pushed boundaries, but with Eclipsa Audio, which leverages AOMedia’s IAMF, we’ve reached a new frontier. It offers a definitive format that delivers a truly lifelike, spatial experience — seamlessly accessible to anyone with headphones or an interactive TV. It’s immersive audio, reimagined for the modern listener,” added Carlos Freitas, Co-Founder and Chief Music Officer, Spatial9
Spatial9’s efforts will help AOMedia explore new use cases, technical advancements, and adoption strategies that promote a more open media ecosystem.
