INTRO
Welcome to Universal BACCH. u-BACCH is a series of stereo speaker filters that create a 3D soundstage from any stereo content played through symmetrically placed, matched speakers. This is achieved through our patented, best in class, cross-talk cancellation filters. Our filters are industry leading with no coloration, tonal distortion, or dynamic range loss. So you can hear exceptional 3D audio over stereo speakers any time, with no penalty.

SETUP
uBACCH is a series of cross-talk cancellation filters based on the half-span angle of the speakers at the listening position, ranging from 1 to 90º.
You can imagine the two speakers and listener as forming a triangle: In an equilateral setup where the distance between left and right speaker is the same as the distance from either speaker and the listener, then the angle of the speakers would be 60º. To get your half-span angle, you’d simply divide that in half to get 30º.
EXAMPLES
A lot of studio monitoring situations will have stereo speakers with half-span angles anywhere from 20-35º (or higher).
A far-field listening room may have speakers from 15-30º.
A computer with symmetrical speakers to each side of the keyboard would be somewhere from 12-18º, a tablet held horizontally would be a similar range, and a soundbar several feet away could range from under 10-14º.
Please note these are ballpark numbers, just to give you an idea of where to start looking for your own devices.

NOTE - some DAWs require you to start playback to hear any sound generated from a plugin. Other DAWs, such as Premiere, may not let audio effects play noise themselves. In that case, we recommend tuning in another environment to find a suitable uBACCH angle first.
LISTENING
Start simple with obvious stereo hard panning or even a binaural recording. Tracks like Money by Pink Floyd, Lovesong by Adele, or Afro Freestyle by Erykah Badu are great starting points.
