Ceva’s RealSpace Elevate is a Microsoft-certified Windows Audio Processing Object (APO) that enables spatial audio for PC gaming headsets. Unlike OS-level solutions that offer limited differentiation or branded third-party applications that restrict customization, the production-ready APO gives OEMs full control over performance and product identity. This includes customizable tuning and presets optimized for gaming and entertainment use cases such as music, movies, and podcasts.
Leveraging Ceva’s RealSpace spatial audio technology, the APO integrates precise sound localization and natural externalization within the Windows APO framework for seamless deployment on Windows PCs. It is optimized for gaming headset use cases, combining rich entertainment audio with competitive gameplay enhancements.
RealSpace Elevate supports 7.1 multichannel rendering with pinpoint accuracy and a realistic soundstage. Gaming-focused enhancements include controls to highlight critical in-game sounds such as footsteps or gunshots.
The licensable APO is available now.
