"We designed SRS TheaterSound to set a new standard of
excellence for HDTV audio performance and we're thrilled to work
alongside Samsung to bring it to consumers the world over," said
Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President
of Marketing for SRS Labs. "The advanced, innovative audio
technologies within SRS TheaterSound provide a remarkably rich,
theater-like experience over the built-in internal speakers of new
Samsung HDTV models."
SRS TheaterSound, which is available in new Samsung HDTVs, is an
all-in-one audio suite that directly addresses the three most
common consumer TV audio complaints – inconsistent volume levels,
unintelligible vocals, and poor, dimension-less sound. SRS
TheaterSound provides the following feature benefits:
- Automatically detects and consistently levels abrupt volume
fluctuations that normally occur when TV programming switches to
commercial break or while changing channels.
- Intelligently separates vocals from all other content and
dynamically adjusts the dialog level to ensure it's always clearly
understood.
- Delivers up to a 5.1 surround sound experience from
multichannel content using built-in TV speakers, and significantly
enhances both depth and dimension.
"Samsung is committed to providing the very best in home
entertainment," said John Revie,
Senior Vice President of Home Entertainment for Samsung Electronics
America. "We are proud to be the first to roll out SRS TheaterSound
and deliver a brand new, immersive sound quality experience to our
customers through our new HDTVs models and address a variety of
their audio needs."
SRS TheaterSound is available in the 2010 Samsung LED and Plasma
HDTVs as well as Samsung LCD models.
