Advanced Binaural Playback Frontends for Authentic Audio Reproduction

The playSeries brings HEAD acoustics’ binaural expertise to playback and makes acoustic measurement data experienceable with level-accurate, equalized and aurally accurate reproduction—far beyond what software-based analyses alone can deliver.

Today, binaural measurement data often consists only of curves and key figures—disregarding the listening experience. PC headphone outputs and consumer hardware distort levels and frequencies. Without calibrated playback, subjective evaluations are not comparable.

The playSeries' versatile HEAD acoustics playback frontends playBasic (available only as part of a bundle with matched HEAD acoustics headphones), playPro, and playStudio are engineered to deliver superior sound quality and enhanced flexibility across all playback scenarios. With impressive audio performance and highly aurally accurate, model-specific equalizations, they transform binaural measurement data into real listening decisions: recordings are reproduced at the correct level and equalized, reconstructing the listening experience as if you were there yourself. 

playBasic and playPro are also ideally suitable for mobile applications, combining low weight, compact design, and robust performance to ensure reliable operation anywhere. For professional listening studios, playStudio provides exceptional flexibility, playback precision, and enhanced scalability. Its support for ADAT and AES interfaces allows improved cascaded operation, ensuring synchronization and signal integrity across complex multichannel configurations. 

Only playBasic, playPro, and playStudio make the results on calibrated HEAD headphones an original listening experience—this is how key figures become listening decisions that everyone involved can understand and intuitively evaluate.
