Ralf Zuleeg

Soundscape developer and applications specialist, d&b audiotechnik

Major contribution

Ralf Zuleeg helped develop d&b Soundscape and bring object-based mixing into live sound reinforcement.

Zuleeg’s work on d&b Soundscape grew from an interest in more immersive reinforcement and experiments with wavefield synthesis and object-based mixing. CTM’s biography describes early live testing at the Zapata Club and subsequent work with artists and touring applications.

Soundscape connects spatial placement and processing to distributed loudspeaker reproduction. Zuleeg’s contribution concerns both development and practical application: helping engineers use object-based tools to relate the audible image to the performance.

Key work
