ZiMMT Binaural Decoder

A real-time binaural decoder for the 32-channel hemispherical loudspeaker array of the Center for Immersive Media Art, Music and Technology (ZiMMT) in Leipzig. The plugin performs partitioned convolution using measured BRIRs from a dummy head equipped with DPA microphones, enabling binaural monitoring of spatial audio productions.
