Music has made its move from mono to stereo to fully spatialised audio. The Abbey Road Red Spatial Audio forum was founded on the site where stereo was patented in 1933, Abbey Road Studios, to help usher spatial audio into our listening days. Our panel members from the forum and its founder will discuss how spatial audio will enter the music recording and production chain, how we will listen to it in the future and how they are working to make this a reality.

Speakers: Dr. Jason Filos - Senior Research Engineer, Qualcomm and Stephen Barton - Film and game composer

Moderator: Mirek Stiles – Abbey Road Head of Audio Products, Abbey Road Red Board Member, and founder of the Abbey Road Red Spatial Audio Forum
