SRS Labs (NASDAQ:SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio, and voice technologies, announced today that PCs equipped with SRS Premium Sound HD™ or SRS Premium Sound OEM suites, as well as SRS’ newly announced SRS HD Audio Lab™ standalone consumer-targeted software suite, now have the ability to decode SRS 5.1™ surround sound content streamed through Microsoft Silverlight®.

“Delivering surround through rich media platforms has been challenging, as the traditional stereo paths result in sound that’s flat against the screen and unimpressive to the viewers who expect HD quality in both their video and audio content,” said Chuck Cortright, Vice President of New Business Development for SRS Labs. “With SRS 5.1, content providers can now utilize the same stereo path to create natural, immersive surround content, significantly improving the viewing experience by delivering high fidelity sound that matches with the high definition picture.”

Depending on speaker configuration, SRS Premium Sound, Premium Sound HD and SRS HD Audio Lab software suites are capable of decoding SRS 5.1 surround sound content into:

  • 5.1 surround sound
  • Front-rendered surround sound
  • Virtual headphone surround

“SRS’ PC software family of all-in-one suites are powerful applications that enhance the collective PC multimedia experience,” said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. “And now, users of our consumer and OEM audio suites have the ability to enjoy an uncompromised 5.1 surround sound experience from any content encoded in SRS 5.1.”

Available through a complete toolkit specifically designed by SRS for Microsoft Silverlight, content developers and aggregators now have the option to effortlessly add surround sound to their content. To date, Silverlight has an installed base approaching 60-percent on all Internet-connected devices worldwide, with a 15-percent increase of usage in just four months. Furthering SRS’ position as a leader in audio solutions for the PC, an estimated 21-percent of PC notebooks shipping in 2010 were equipped with a solution stemming from the SRS Premium Sound family.

For PC users that have a computer not featuring SRS Premium Sound HD or SRS Premium Sound, a free 30-day trial of SRS’ consumer software, HD Audio Lab (HAL), can be downloaded at http://www.srslabs.com/HAL. The MSRP for the download and box versions of HD Audio Lab are $29.99 and $39.99, respectively.

To celebrate SRS 5.1’s inclusion within the Silverlight platform, SRS Labs is launching the “Turn Your PC in to a Home Theater PC” sweepstakes to give away 20 copies of SRS HD Audio Lab™ - the ultimate audio enhancement software for the PC. The sweepstakes will run from October 1st, 2010 – October 7th, 2010. To enter to for a chance to win, please visit www.facebook.com/SRSLabs.
