Violet Audio Spatia 2D Spatial Audio Software

No need for external DSP

Traditional spatial audio platforms demand a dedicated DSP hardware engine sitting between your console and your speaker system, which adds cost, rack space, and another potential point of failure to an already complex signal chain. Spatia takes a fundamentally different approach. By working directly within the dMix 128's existing aux matrix architecture, Spatia transforms your installation into a full spatial audio system without a single additional piece of processing hardware. The DSP you already have is the DSP you need.

QLab integration

In theatrical and live production environments, spatial audio has traditionally meant a parallel workflow with separate operators and separate systems, resulting in the constant risk of timing misalignment between spatial cues and the rest of the show. Spatia eliminates that divide. Native QLab integration via OSC lets you embed spatial automation directly into your existing cue stack, so a single cue can simultaneously trigger sound, lighting, video, and source movement across the spatial field. Timecode sync via MIDI clock or LTC/SMPTE automatically keeps every spatial movement locked to your existing show control reference. A strict command hierarchy protects automated cues against conflicting manual input, so your show runs exactly as designed, even under pressure. Set up Spatia once and let it run the show.

Easy group control

Manually managing multiple sources mid-show is impractical in live conditions. Spatia's group centroid control collapses that complexity into a single action. Define any collection of sources as a unified group, and a single drag repositions the entire cluster across the spatial field simultaneously, with Spatia handling every geometric recalculation invisibly in the background. What would have required dozens of individual adjustments becomes one intuitive movement, leaving you free to focus on the performance.

Violet Audio Spatia 2D Features:

• Converts any dMix 128 installation into a full spatial audio system with no external DSP required
• Drag-and-drop source positioning eliminates manual aux send programming across up to 24 speaker zones
• Equal power rendering maintains consistent perceived loudness as sources move across the field, keeping the spatial experience convincing from any seat in the room
• Distance law attenuation prevents acoustic bleed into far-side speaker arrays, preserving zone isolation and spatial clarity across your full multi-speaker rig
• Configurable zone spread lets you dial in how aggressively sources blend between zones, so spatial transitions feel natural in any installation environment
• Move entire source clusters as a single object during any performance or event
• Catmull-Rom spline interpolation generates smooth, continuous source movement between waypoints, eliminating the abrupt jumps that can break spatial immersion
• Frame-accurate automation reproducibility means you can trust every source movement to execute exactly as programmed for every show
• Timecode sync via MIDI clock or LTC/SMPTE locks spatial automation to your existing show control ecosystem, keeping source movements perfectly aligned with every other production element
• Save and recall complete spatial configurations instantly with scene snapshots
• Native QLab integration via OSC embeds spatial automation directly into your existing cue stack, with a strict command hierarchy protecting show integrity
• Solo edit mode lets you intercept and reposition any source mid-show without affecting the underlying recorded automation
