About Speaker

Martin Rieger is a 3D audio expert with a decade of full-time experience as a freelancer and consultant. As founder of VRTonung (Munich), he covers binaural and multichannel production from field recordings worldwide to post-production — with a strong focus on headphone listening and head-tracked spatial audio for HMDs.

With over 100 projects across 15+ countries, he is one of the most experienced practitioners in the German-speaking world. A committed advocate for head tracking and three degrees of freedom, he argues that immersive audio is not a replacement for stereo but a coexistence — each format with its own legitimate role and there are more than you think.

Beyond production, he runs one of the most dedicated blogs on 3D audio and is an active thought leader on LinkedIn, bridging the gap between spatial audio technology and the broader creative and business community.
