Aural Map Crafted For Your Ears

When you’re listening to audio inside a physical space, the sound interacts with your ear’s anatomical structure before entering the auditory cortex of your brain. If you want to translate that real-world listening experience into a virtual medium, your ear structure is as critical a part of the equation as the room acoustics themselves.

To put you into the sweet spot of a virtual studio, Reveal+ features groundbreaking Aural Map technology crafted by Embody. With the Aural Map, you can create your personalized HRTF by taking a picture of your ear using a QR code inside the plugin. Once the picture has been uploaded to the cloud, Embody's advanced AI algorithms convert that picture into a unique spatial profile, or Aural Map, which can be downloaded directly into your Reveal+ plugin. Enjoy premium spatial audio that's been crafted specifically for your ears!

Setting Up Reveal+

Setting Up Audeze Reveal+ Plugin

To install the Reveal+ audio plugin, download the Reveal+ Plugin zip file. Once the download is complete, double click on the downloaded file to unzip and run the installer. The installer should prompt you to select which components you want to install, and the directory in which you would like to install them. Be sure you install the versions you need for your system and put them in the location recommended by the provider of your preferred software (usually the system plugins folder).

Most DAW plugins and music player applications work in similar ways, but there are some differences in the way plugins are integrated. We suggest you contact the maker of your particular software if you have specific questions, but we have included a few examples below to help get you started!

Getting started with Reveal+

Download the Audeze Reveal+ plugin from the link included in your confirmation email. The zip file includes 64bit installers for both Windows and Mac, as well as a 32bit version for Mac.

Once downloaded, launch the desired installer and follow the instructions as prompted.

Navigating the Reveal+ UI, Part 1

After you've launched Reveal+ in your preferred DAW or media player, you will notice two tabs: Presets and Aural Map.

The Presets tab includes proprietary EQ profiles for most Audeze headphones. Use this tab to select the appropriate preset for your Audeze headphone! Here you can also select from avariety of minimum and linear phase filters for the headphone EQs.

You can adjust the balance between your source audio and plugin effect using the Mix knob, and increase or reduce output volume using the Gain knob. The new Peak Limiter can be used to avoid any saturation artifacts.

The Aural Map tab is where you can download your custom Aural Map, or HRTF. This will calibrate Reveal+ to your unique physiology to ensure a more accurate and immersive spatial listening experience!
