VSX 6 is here.
And if you're on VSX 5, it's free.
VSX 6 isn’t just an update—it’s a major leap forward in spatial audio.
VSX has always been built on accurate recreations of speakers in headphones.
Version 6 takes that idea further than ever before.
A major advancement
in speaker and room modeling
VSX is built on two core layers of technology. The first is speaker and room modeling—how real speakers in real rooms are perceived by our ears.
The second is headphone optimization, which ensures that perception is delivered accurately through headphones.
VSX 6 introduces a major advancement in the first layer,
featuring our new proprietary inner ear canal modeling.
Why this changes everything
Most spatial audio systems focus on the head and outer ear. But a critical part of how we perceive depth, placement, and realism happens inside the ear canal itself.
VSX 6 models these inner ear interactions—subtle reflections, resonances, and high-frequency shaping that occur as sound approaches the eardrum. When this data is integrated into the speaker and room models, the result is immediate:
More focus.
Stronger 3D imaging.
Tighter, more physical low end.
Perfectly modeled speakers
sound more real than ever
Even some of the greatest studio rooms can have peaks, dips, and spatial inconsistencies that make mixing harder than it should be.
That’s why VSX models speakers and rooms with extreme precision—so what you hear is stable, accurate, and trustworthy.
In VSX 6, those models go even deeper.
Headphones disappear.
The room becomes real.
When you wear headphones, you're creating a small acoustic space around both ears—one that can introduce its own resonances and colorations.
VSX minimizes these artifacts so the headphones disappear, leaving only the pure sound of the speakers and room. E.C.C.O.™ (Ear Canal Curve Optimization) then fine tunes this model even further to the individual characteristics of your unique ear shape.
An upgrade you have to
hear to believe.
VSX 6 delivers a new level of spatial realism that goes beyond frequency response or stereo width.
It's about how sound locks into place. How depth feels natural. How mixing becomes easy when you can finally hear your sound without any room artifacts.
VSX 6 is available now. VSX 5 users can upgrade to VSX 6 for free by launching the Steven Slate Audio Center. And your previous versions of VSX remain fully available with a single click ✅
