Business Wire
SRS Labs (NASDAQ:SRSL), the industry leader in surround
sound, audio enhancement, and voice post-processing technologies,
announced today the availability of its all new audio software
suite designed to enable any PC to pump out home theater-like
sound. Loaded with a complete suite of fully customizable SRS audio
enhancement solutions, the all new SRS Audio Essentials works with
all PC-based media players and gives users full control of their
audio experience.
“Today’s consumers are always on-the-go, demand their content on
their schedule, and expect HD-quality audio and video playback on
their mobile devices. Given the exponential growth of audio and
video streaming services as well as the popularity of digital
downloads, notebooks and laptops play a critical role in the
entertainment experience of consumers,” said Allen H. Gharapetian,
Senior Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. “Utilizing
feedback and insight provided by our fans and friends through
social media communities like Facebook and Twitter, we took on the
challenge of designing the perfect audio enhancement software suite
to address every problem faced by consumers dealing with poor
quality compressed audio files as well as issues generated by the
minimal frequency response range of small laptop speakers and
headphones. All those efforts and research have culminated in an
all new software solution that drastically improves the audio
playback capabilities of any PC, allowing it to sound bigger,
louder and more impressive.”
In practice, SRS Audio Essentials breathes new life into music,
movies, games and all types of other content including YouTube
style videos by processing the audio with patented psychoacoustic
technologies to not only deliver an incredibly lifelike, immersive
audio experience, but compensate for physical limitations of
speaker configurations and headphones. Audio Essentials takes into
account multiple variables when processing audio, including the
type of content being played, size and number of speakers, style of
headphones being used and the content source. It then mixes in the
optimal amount of psychoacoustic processing, bass enhancement,
sound field expansion and vocal intelligibility solutions for that
specific mix. The end result is audio quality at its absolute best,
allowing music to sound like it is being played live at a club, and
movies and games to feel immersive and life-like.
