Introducing…
FiDef® by FideliQuest is a very low amplitude psychoacoustic stimulus designed specifically for audio engineers.
It makes a receptive brain relax and pay closer attention to an incoming audio stimulus.
In brain physiology laboratory tests using functional neuroimaging techniques,
FiDef has proven to excite brain activity related to perception and attention, and to enhance the subjective processes of listening and engagement.​

产品简介
FideliQuest 的 FiDef® 是一款非常低程度的心理声学刺激,专门为音频工程师设计。
它让善于接受的大脑放松,并更密切地关注即将到来的音频刺激。
在使用功能神经成像技术的大脑生理学实验室测试中,
FiDef 已被证明能够刺激与感知和注意力相关的大脑活动,并增强听音和参与的主观过程。
The FiDef process, developed in the US by FideliQuest LLC, was first licensed by MAAT for our thEQblue.
That same algorithm is now available standalone for all major plug-in formats,
including VST 2, VST 3 and AAX native for macOS and Windows plus Audio Units for macOS.
FiDef is a patented, 64 bit audio processor like no other.
Brain science takes the lead in this subconscious signal generator that compels the listening to lean in and…engage!​

FiDef 处理器是由 FideliQuest LLC 在美国开发的,一开始是由 MAAT 为我们的 thEQBlue 授权的。
同样的算法现在可以独立用于所有主要的插件格式,
包括适用于 MacOS 的 VST 2、VST 3 和AAX Native,以及适用于 MacOS 的 Windows Plus Audio Units。
FiDef 是一款获得专利的 64 位音频处理器,非常独特,不可复制。
大脑科学在这种潜意识信号发生器中发挥了带头作用,这种信号发生器迫使听者向前倾并增强感受!

The Quest
Since Edison’s first wax cylinders, the history of audio capture and playback can be summarized as the increasingly technical pursuit of a seemingly impossible goal:
lifelike replication of the actual listening experience…
The advent of digital technology, while solving many of the problems inherent in analog recording and playback, brought with it other challenges.
At the same time, new enabling formats such as DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) and MQA (Master Quality Authenticated),
along with consumer trends toward uncompressed HRA or High Resolution Audio releases of music catalogs have brought new levels of fidelity to the home.
Yet, even the highest fidelity digital playback still exhibits a level of reserve that keeps the music at arm’s length,
not always allowing it to embrace and move us. Low fidelity or hi–fi, analog or digital, FiDef makes for a deeper, more satisfying connection.​

探索之旅
自从爱迪生发明第一个留声机以来,音频捕获和回放的历史可以概括为越来越多的技术追求一个看似不可能的目标:
生灵活现的复制实际的收听体验…
数字技术的出现,在解决了模拟录音和回放所固有的许多问题的同时,也带来了其他挑战。
与此同时,新的格式支持,如 DXD(DSD 高清音频)和 MQA(无损音频解码),
以及消费者对未压缩 HRA 或高码率音频发行音乐唱片的趋势,为家庭带来了新的保真度指标。
然而,即使是最高保真度的数字播放仍然表现出一定程度的保留,使音乐与我们保持一墙之隔,并不总是让它拥抱和感动我们。
无论是低保真还是高保真,无论是模拟还是数字,FiDef 都能提供更深层次、更令人满意的连接。
The Solution
While listening to a variety of recordings, an audio professional thought to himself, “Why do some recordings sound better than others?”
He recruited an audio physicist and a musical neuroscientist while analyzing arrays of audio recordings to identify elements of sound that psychoacoustically engage the listener.
Isolating the mechanism allowed them to develop a unique solution that synthesizes essential content from the material itself, inserting that dynamic information at low amplitude into the content.
After years of development by a team of engineers with decades of industry experience, early in 2016 FideliQuest introduced FiDef™ audio processing,
the first and only technology that restores what all recording and playback systems take away, whether analog or digital.​

解决方案
一位音频专家一边听着各种各样的录音,一边自言自语的说:为什么有些录音听起来比其他的好?
他招募了一名音频物理学家和一名音乐神经学家,同时分析一系列音频录音,以确定从心理上吸引听者的声音元素。
隔离这一机制使他们能够开发出一种独特的解决方案,从素材本身合成基本内容,并将轻微的动态信息插入到内容中。
经过拥有数十年行业经验的工程师团队多年的开发,FidelQuest 于 2016 年初推出了 FiDef™ 音频处理器,
这是第一项也是唯一一项恢复所有录音和回放系统所带走的东西的技术,无论是模拟还是数字。

FiDef JENtwo by MAAT – Left vs Right Brain
Think of a common, non–harmonic, sub–audible signal all good engineers use to linearize digital audio; dither.
The FiDef system also generates an anharmonic, sub–audible broadband signal. The difference is that FiDef does not modify the music itself in any way but instead is added to the music.
Also unlike dither, it is correlated to the source audio. This is not noise for noise’s sake. This is a dynamic, correlated and spectrally shaped signal.
The signal, based on FideliQuest research into the human auditory system, is customized to directly stimulate the brain, bypassing cognitive processing.
The manifold results include less brain activity required to process incoming stimuli, with a resulting increase in perceived nuance and tactility from music, speech and effects.
FiDef informs your brain of the subtle potentials within a recording. Hear more of how the song was played, not recorded.​

MAAT FiDef JENTwo —— 左脑与右脑
想一想所有优秀的工程师都用来线性化数字音频的常见的、非谐波的、亚可闻的信号:抖动。
FiDef 系统还产生非谐波、次可听的宽频信号。不同之处在于 FiDef 不会以任何方式修改音乐本身,而是添加到音乐中。
与抖动不同的是,它与源音频相关。这不是为了噪音而发出的噪音。这是一个动态的、相关的和频谱形状的信号。
基于 FideliQuest 对人类听觉系统的研究,该信号被定制为直接刺激大脑,绕过认知处理。
多方面的结果包括处理传入刺激所需的大脑活动减少,从而增加了从音乐、语音和效果中感知的细微差别和触觉。
FiDef 向你的大脑告知录音中的微妙潜力。听更多关于这首歌是如何播放的,而不是录制的。
The Science
Supported by sophisticated research into how the human brain processes sound, FiDef informs the listener’s auditory system of music’s full potential.
Independent research has shown that the brain response between FiDef and untreated audio is significant to 99%.
Because the subtle effects of subaudible supplementation are modeled in the brain over time with familiarization, listeners unaccustomed to FiDef might not hear the difference immediately.
Studies indicate that the brain uses inverse effectiveness to process FiDef’d music with less effort, in effect hearing more by working less. Hear more than you think.​

走近科学
在对人脑如何处理声音的复杂研究的支持下,FiDef 向听者的听觉系统告知音乐的全部潜力。
独立研究表明,FiDef 和未经处理的音频之间的大脑反应达到 99%。
由于次声补充的轻微效果是随着时间的推移在大脑中以熟悉的方式建模的,不习惯 FiDef 的听众可能不会立即听到不同之处。
研究表明,大脑以相反的效率以较少的强化处理固定格式的音乐,实际上是通过更少的工作来听到更多的音乐。听到的比你想的要多。

Grounded firmly in experimentation and analysis, FiDef technology can increase definition, detail, intelligibility,
soundstage width and depth and, most important,
the emotional engagement of the listener. In short, with FiDef processing, your audio sounds better, without any change to workflows or delivery methods,
even on data–compressed file types and older or low–fi playback gear.​

FiDef 技术扎根于实验和分析,可以增加清晰度、细节、通透、声音场景的宽度和深度,
最重要的是,提高听众的情感参与度。
简而言之,使用 FiDef 处理,你的音频听起来更好,而不需要更改工作流程或交付方式,
即使是在数据压缩文件类型和旧的或低保真播放设备上也是如此。
