Auro 11.1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auro 11.1 is one of the cinematic speaker layouts of theAuro-3D
format, invented in 2005 by Wilfried Van Baelen (CEO Auro
Technologies, CEO Galaxy Studios). The Auro 11.1 cinema audio
format is powered by Barco, a global visualization technology
company and market leader in digital cinema projection.
The audio format creates immersive 3D sound by using a three-
dimensional (x,y,z) 11.1 channel /speaker layout. The Auro 11.1
system is designed along three layers of sound (ear-level, height and overhead). Based on the existing 5.1
surround sound configuration, the technology adds a height and top layer for an immersive sound experience.
With this audio format, natural sound comes from all around and above the listener. "The closer to natural
sound, the more immersive the impact" quoted Wilfried Van Baelen in 2006 (AES convention Paris & San
Francisco, where he launched the Auro-3D format with the "'Auro 9.1"' system).
The first Auro 11.1 system was installed in May 2010 in Galaxy Studios (home of the Auro-3D format). Auro
11.1 was launched at the spatial audio conference (AES) in October 2010 in Tokyo and in July 2011, Skywalker
Sound installed their first Auro 11.1 system. In November 2011, the technology was first installed in a cinema
theater at the Wangfujing Cineplex in Chengdu, China. In J anuary 2013, more than 50 installations were
implemented in theaters worldwide. The first movie mixed in Auro 11.1 was Lucasfilm'sRed Tails, released in
J anuary 2012. On 1 November 2012, DreamWorks Animation announced that it was going to release its
upcoming 15 movies in Auro 11.1.
