Neumann has launched its Virtual Immersive Studio application.
Designed for use with Apple Vision Pro, the solution uses augmented reality to enable audio objects to appear as visual elements. Producers can see, touch and feel sound sources in a three dimensional space, positioning them with hand gestures.
Connecting directly to Logic Pro on Mac, Virtual Immersive Studio (VIS) provides users with a virtual screen inside Apple Vision Pro, allowing them to view and manipulate it across their environment. Apple Vision Pro’s low latency pass-through technology enables users to interact with their physical environment while immersed in a virtual mixing space, said the company.
Yasmine Riechers, CEO of Neumann, commented, “VIS is not just an app—it’s a new way of thinking about sound. It brings immersive audio to life, making it tangible and intuitive. For nearly a century, Neumann has redefined what’s possible in audio, and our pioneering spirit drives us to shape the future. With VIS, Neumann stands at the forefront of audio innovation, turning visionary ideas into new industry benchmarks.”
The solution supports loudspeaker and headphone monitoring. Neumann’s plug-in spatial for audio playback up to 7.1.4. RIME delivers realistic monitoring, aiming to make immersive production possible from any location.
“With VIS, we wanted to make immersive audio mixing feel as natural as playing an instrument,” said Jorma Marquardt, product manager at Neumann. “By combining spatial computing with intuitive gesture control, we’re giving creators a tool that turns technical workflows into expressive, creative experiences. It’s not just about mixing sound—it’s about shaping it in space.”
