What is MPEG-H Audio?

The Fraunhofer IIS technology makes Next Generation Audio (NGA) a reality: Broadcasters and streaming providers around the globe count on it for their services and it is the basis of Sony’s immersive 360 Reality Audio music format. MPEG-H Audio opens the door to custom entertainment and advanced accessibility options – simply choose from presets or create your own settings. Enjoy a 3D audio experience that perfectly matches your preferences on mobile devices, soundbars, smart speakers, and even in the car.
