Business Wire
SRS Labs (NASDAQ:SRSL), a leading provider of surround sound, audio
and voice technologies, today announced the launch of the new SRS
Audio Sandbox(TM) (SAS) for the PC. The SAS software delivers
compelling surround sound to consumers who are seeking enhanced
audio while experiencing any music, movie, or video game content on
their PC. The SRS Audio Sandbox software was designed recognizing
audio has become more important to consumers as many people use
their PC for entertainment, both at home and on the road. With the
SAS, users can customize their audio experience with the option to
select the preferred SRS Labs patented technology base upon content
(i.e. music, movie, video or game), or choose from an array of
music presets in the sandbox (i.e. rock music, classical, jazz,
country, etc.). There is also an easy-to-use interface which allows
users to further personalize their acoustic preferences with
multiple settings for different playback environments (headphones,
desktop, laptop and monitor speakers). Coupled with these features
is a sleek spectrometer interface design that displays energizing
sonic-like pulses when playing audio. The software restores the
clarity of vocals and high-frequency sounds that otherwise can
sound "muffled" because of data loss caused by compression in audio
formats. The SRS Audio Sandbox also widens the optimal listening
area by expanding the audio field in both the horizontal and
vertical planes and uses SRS patented psychoacoustic technologies
to make the ear perceive maximum bass without distorting or
overdriving computer speakers and headphones. With a center control
feature, users can perfect the balance of sound by using a virtual
"zoom" lens to dynamically extract and position the dialog in the
foreground or background of the audio mix. The SRS Audio Sandbox
allows users to take advantage of surround content regardless of
their speaker arrangement and ensures that sound quality will not
be diminished by the physical limits of speakers or low-quality
sound cards. For users that have a 5.1 or 6.1 surround sound
configuration, the SAS creates true multichannel surround sound
from any audio source, including stereo and mono. Conversely, for
those computer setups commonly using only two speakers, the SAS
takes multichannel content and uses a virtualizer to place phantom
speakers around the room, providing a realistic and enjoyable
surround sound experience. "SRS Labs is dedicated to introducing
complete, customizable surround sound audio to strengthen PC users'
multimedia experience," said Tom Yuen, Chairman and CEO, SRS Labs.
"As the popularity of PCs as entertainment devices increases, so
does the demand for enhanced audio to ensure the best experience.
With the SRS Audio Sandbox, consumers receive the highest quality
audio experience at an extremely reasonable cost." The SRS Audio
Sandbox comes with a free trial period, which can be easily
converted to a permanent registration upon trial completion. It is
available at www.srslabs.com/sas and other leading download
websites. After the trial, the software cost is $19.95. About SRS
