Abstract:
A device for audio reproduction comprising a rest element for the head of a user, made of a deformable material; a right lateral support element and a left lateral support element located respectively at the two respective right and left of the rest element, the rest and left lateral support elements being connected to each other by the rest element, the right and left support elements defining between each other a listening space and a longitudinal direction parallel to the lateral support elements; a right loudspeaker and a left loudspeaker mounted respectively to the right and left lateral support elements have respective sound emission faces that face towards a listening space defined between the right and left support elements. The rest element provides a housing for a portion of the head configured to arrange the user with right and left ears oriented towards the right and left loudspeakers, the right and left ears creating a listening axis. The loudspeakers have each a woofer and a tweeter, the tweeters having an axis of symmetry oriented with a predetermined angle of elevation (α) with respect to the listening axis between a first elevation value (α) substantially equal to zero, where the tweeters have the axes of symmetry aligned to each other and parallel to the listening axis, and a second elevation value (α), substantially equal to 45°, where the tweeters have the axes of symmetry converging towards a point that is located higher than the listening axis. A system of binaural recording and a system for playing multi-dimensional effects are also included.
