Object based mixing
AUX Import: Experts in Object Based Mixing and Exclusive UK Distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic
Object based mixing is redefining professional audio design, delivering unprecedented control, clarity and spatial realism. Unlike traditional channel-based mixing systems, object based mixing allows sound engineers to place and move individual audio elements precisely within a three-dimensional space. AUX Import are experts in object based mixing solutions and are proud to be the exclusive UK distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic.
Through advanced technologies found in the VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro processors, AUX Import provide UK venues with powerful, immersive sound control that transforms audience experience.
What Is Object Based Mixing?
Traditional audio systems rely on channel-based mixing, where signals are assigned to fixed outputs such as left, right or surround channels. In contrast, object based mixing treats each audio source — such as a vocal, instrument or spoken word microphone — as an independent object.
Each object can be:
Positioned precisely within a sound field
Moved dynamically in real time
Adjusted independently for level and spatial placement
Rendered consistently across complex loudspeaker systems
This approach allows sound designers to create more natural, immersive and intelligible audio experiences.
Fulcrum Acoustic’s VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro
As the exclusive UK distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic, AUX Import bring industry-leading object based mixing technology to venues across the UK.
VenueFlex
VenueFlex is a powerful immersive audio processor that enables object based spatial rendering within professional loudspeaker systems. It allows engineers to define and control audio objects independently, delivering highly accurate localisation and consistent coverage throughout the listening area.
Key benefits of VenueFlex include:
Precise spatial placement of audio objects
Improved speech intelligibility
Enhanced musical clarity
Consistent tonal balance across the venue
Flexible configuration for different room layouts
VenueFlex is particularly well suited to houses of worship, theatres and corporate auditoria seeking immersive sound without unnecessary system complexity.
VenueFlex Pro
VenueFlex Pro expands upon the capabilities of VenueFlex with increased processing power and advanced control functionality. Designed for larger or more acoustically demanding environments, VenueFlex Pro enables greater object count, enhanced spatial resolution and increased system flexibility.
For venues requiring sophisticated immersive sound design, VenueFlex Pro delivers:
Advanced object based rendering
Scalable system architecture
Greater control precision
Adaptability for evolving performance requirements
Together, these technologies provide a robust platform for object based mixing in modern professional environments.
The Benefits of Object Based Mixing
Improved Speech Intelligibility
By positioning speech sources accurately within the sound field, object based mixing enhances clarity and reduces masking effects. This is particularly valuable in venues where spoken word is critical.
Greater Audience Immersion
Object based systems allow sound to be distributed naturally and evenly throughout a space. Rather than relying on fixed stereo imaging, audio can be localised to match visual cues and stage positions, increasing realism and engagement.
Consistent Coverage Across the Venue
Traditional left-right systems can produce uneven coverage in wide or complex rooms. Object based mixing ensures each listener experiences balanced, spatially accurate sound regardless of seating position.
Flexibility and Future-Proofing
Object based audio systems are inherently adaptable. As venues change layouts or programming styles, processors such as VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro can be reconfigured without requiring complete system redesign.
