Legendary English rockers The Who will be streaming their seminal and hugely-loved track ‘5.15’, taken from their iconic 1973 Quadrophenia’ album, with an innovative new process known as 3D60 – which involves creating a 360 degree, three dimensional surround sound, so you can hear the track in ways never previously imagined.
The Who guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend has explored the new studio mixing technique designed to give listeners on headphones the same experience as those listening to the new 5.1 mixes which were recently included on the Quadrophenia ‘Director’s Cut’ deluxe release.
The band picked ‘5.15’, the biggest single from the album, to try out a process called 3D60 that takes sound from ordinary stereo into new dimensions of height and space. This three-dimensional 360 degree surround sound provides an unparalleled audio experience, with sounds coming from all around you; in front, behind, at different heights and even from overhead or below.
Fans can enjoy their very first widescreen listening experience of The Who on their earphones today – check the widget below to hear the classic ‘5.15’ track in a way you won’t have never heard it before.
