Created as a research project in 2017 by Gaëtan Byk – CEO of Amadeus – in collaboration with leading French research institutions CNRS and the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music (Ircam), HOLOPHONIX became an independent legal entity with dedicated resources in 2023.

The success of the HOLOPHONIX immersive audio hardware and software solution and the demands we currently have to meet led us to accelerate its deployment. We have to live up to the challenges and the trust that our customers and users place in us

The HOLOPHONIX technology aims to democratize immersive sound and spatialized mixing for live performances, breaking out of the monophonic or stereophonic paradigm – formats that are still mostly used in the field – to offer users and audiences a new experience of live performances with an augmented sound dimension.

Since 2017, many major performing arts venues have already adopted the HOLOPHONIX technology, and hundreds of creative projects have already been carried out by major creators, composers, directors, or conductors.

The Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music (Ircam) is one of the largest public research centers in the world, dedicated to both musical expression and scientific research. This unique place where artistic sensibility meets with scientific and technological innovation brings together over 160 collaborators.

Since its inception, the HOLOPHONIX solution has integrated a large part of their technologies related to the spatialization of sound, including highly advanced 2D and 3D sound algorithms.

Since its inception, the HOLOPHONIX research project had brought together a plurality of talents from the most prestigious French musical, theatrical, and scientific institutions – whose experience and knowledge are as rich as they are complementary.

Since its initial product launch in 2017, HOLOPHONIX technology has been rapidly adopted by several major institutions in France and worldwide, as well as by many creators, composers, and artists. In just a few years, the solutions developed by HOLOPHONIX have become an essential reference for immersive creation and spatialized mixing, especially for the performing arts field.

Over the past five years, more than two million people have experienced the HOLOPHONIX sound through hundreds of creative projects and in the many cultural institutions equipped with the HOLOPHONIX technology.
