Angela McArthur - Spatial Sound with the IKO Speaker

The possibilities of spatial sound are finally starting to gain mainstream awareness. Yet format and distribution remain an obstacle for most practitioners, for anything other than headphone listening. The IKO loudspeaker first arrived in the UK in 2019. Angela toured it the same year, showcasing its unique affordances and portability in spatial sound reproduction. More than five years on, six IKO loudspeakers are homed in the UK, the highest geographical concentration worldwide. What is the IKO, what can it do, and why should you consider it for your next project (and... how might you make this a reality?).
