The new recommended practice for immersive audio design (RP22) redefines how we quantify system performance. This is the first time that system performance metrics are defined by four distinct levels, instead of vague “good, better, best" packages or “low, middle, high" cost models. And the new definitions aren’t just for integrators’ benefit.
With RP22, manufacturers know their products are functioning as intended; customers understand the breadth of what they are paying for.
Having clearly defined levels not only holds integrators accountable, it also elevates our industry to the highest professional standard.

"RP22 is a truly unique document. In the end, it is not only the first time that so many key concepts are assembled in a coherent and practical way, but also, it introduces breakthrough concepts such as performance grades or unified speaker layouts for immersive sound. It is THE audio design reference document for our industry."
Arnaud Laborie, CEO, Trinnov Audio
"One of the most amazing aspects of the RP22 workgroup is the diversity of technical expertise of the volunteers who contributed. Supporting the joint work of CEDIA and CTA are actual A-list movie content creators, representatives for the various surround sound formats, individuals with significant experience in writing other similar documents in the music and movie industries, award winning CEDIA members, cinema designers, manufacturers, and subject matter experts across many disciplines."

"The RP22 document is the most comprehensive resource for immersive audio system design that I have seen anywhere! I was proud to be a contributor among so many other talented and knowledgeable audio experts, design engineers, and manufacturers. RP22 will cause systems to be designed better at every level, and those exploring the upper echelons of performance will be more thoughtful and engineering centric than they otherwise might have been in a world without such a comprehensive sound design resource."
John Bishop, Principal, Bishop Architectural Entertainment Services.
"The Recommended Practice for Immersive Audio Design is a game changer: the most complete guide ever written for high performance audio design in entertainment systems. For the first time, integrators have a clear framework to present objective engineering metrics through four easily comprehensible levels. This clarity is revolutionary for our industry. Now, clients, architects, and specifiers can effortlessly discuss performance objectives and compare proposals on a like for like basis."
