Don't just listen to music... surround yourself with it

Hey, broadcasters, webcasters, and streamers—let’s talk audio. Specifically, your audio. Right now, you’re probably sending out stereo content. It sounds fine, sure. It’s what everyone’s been used to since about, oh, 1959. But is fine really enough?


Imagine giving your listeners a true 5.1 surround sound experience—without them needing any fancy equipment, or you having to rework your entire production setup. That’s what Déjà Vu does. It upmixes stereo into real 5.1, adding depth, immersion, and a serious wow factor to your programming.

With Déjà Vu, it sounds like the band is playing just for you.

Why you need this

Your audience isn’t just passively listening; they’re experiencing your content. And the better that experience, the longer they listen and the more engaged they become. With Déjà Vu, your audio instantly sounds bigger, wider, and more immersive.

• 🎙 For Radio & Webcasters – Make your music streams (or HD / DAB+ music channels) leap out with a richer, more dynamic sound.
•  
• 🎬 For Streamers & Content Creators – Whether it’s live or pre-recorded content, surround sound adds a new level of realism.
•  
• 🎧 For Listeners – More engaging, more exciting, and just plain better audio. They’ll experience the music in a whole new way. And yes, it still sounds fantastic on stereo speakers.

Who's behind it?

Déjà Vu was developed by Syndicate of Sounds, a company founded by Frank Foti, the same guy who revolutionized FM audio processing with Omnia Audio. Frank and his team are passionate about music (just like your listeners), so there’s no perceptual tomfoolery going on here. Déjà Vu transforms stereo audio into real, high-quality 5.1 surround that remains faithful to the original recording. And it can do it with file-based audio, or in real time.

How It Works (No Tech Degree Required)

Plug It Into Your Favorite Audio Software

Déjà Vu is a plugin-based solution that seamlessly integrates into your existing workflow. It takes a standard stereo mix and intelligently expands it into true, discrete 5.1 surround sound, maintaining sonic integrity without artificial reverb, phase tricks, or hollow-sounding effects. It comes as a VST, AU, and AAX plugin, making it compatible with nearly every major broadcast and production platform, including:

• • Radio Automation Systems – Playout software like Zetta, RCS NexGen, and WideOrbit.
• • Streaming Encoders – Tools like OBS, vMix, and Wirecast for live streaming.
  • DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) – Including Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Reaper, Logic Pro, and Ableton Live.

No Complicated Setup – Just Plug and Play

1. 1. Drop the Déjà Vu plugin into your master bus or output channel.
2. 2. Choose from optimized presets or fine-tune settings for your specific content.
3. 3. Stream in stunning 5.1 surround sound without modifying your existing stereo mix.
4. 4. Déjà Vu automatically adapts to your listeners’ setups, ensuring an immersive experience on both surround systems and standard stereo devices.

Got A Hankering For Hardware?

No problem. Déjà Vu is available as an option for the Telos Z/IPStream R/20 streaming encoder, which is about as simple as it gets: your audio goes in and beautifully processed streams, using your choice of multiple bit-rates and codecs, comes out in upmixed 5.1. (Déjà Vu is available in the standalone software stream encoder, Z/IPStream X/20, too.)

Give Your Audience Something to Talk About

Let’s be real—listeners notice when audio sounds better. They may not know why it sounds better, but they’ll feel the difference. And when your stream sounds better than the competition’s? They’ll stick around longer, tell their friends, and make your station or channel their go-to.
