SpACE-Net activities were open to all network members, and registration for membership was free of charge. The initial network partners, who directed the network, were:

• Sensaura
• Sony Broadcast and Professional Europe
• Soundfield Ltd
• University of Derby Signal Processing Applications Research Group (SPARG)
• University of Surrey Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR)
• University of York Audio Lab & Department of Music

Other potential partners were invited to join as the network progressed. We were particularly keen to involve creative professionals working with spatial audio.
