Eclipsa Audio Plugins
Eclipsa Audio Plugins are a set of immersive production tools built around IAMF, letting engineers create, control and monitor spatial mixes within their usual DAW workflow. Because IAMF is a codec-agnostic container rather than a codec itself, it can carry audio compressed with formats such as Opus, PCM, AAC or FLAC, and handles both channel-based layouts (5.1.2, 7.1.4 and similar) and full ambisonic soundfields, rendering the result to either loudspeakers or binaurally to headphones. The plugins themselves are free for creators to use, released under AOMedia's royalty-free licence, and the project backs this up with quick-start guides, manuals, release notes and open source code hosted on GitHub.

history
+–
Eclipsa Audio was introduced by Google and Samsung in January 2025 as the brand name for a new open, royalty-free 3D audio technology built on IAMF, the Immersive Audio Model and Formats specification developed collaboratively at the Alliance for Open Media. YouTube began accepting IAMF files that same month, with playback support rolling out on Samsung's 2025 TV and soundbar lineup. The open source DAW plugin itself followed in June 2025, launching first for Avid Pro Tools on macOS before expanding to REAPER, Adobe Premiere Pro and Logic Pro.
