Abstract: A combination head mounted speaker assembly and multi-channel audio processing system includes a pair of speaker assemblies mounted at the ends of a pair of extension arms. The arms are mounted on a headband worn on a user's head, so that the speakers in the assemblies are suspended several inches away from either side of the head. The speaker assemblies are also spaced above the shoulders so that the user can maintain the ability to turn his or her head. The speakers arc connected via a cable to an eight channel audio processing system, which can deliver eight discreet audio sources into each of the eight speakers, four on each side of the head.
