Experiencing SRS 3D
The Sound Retrieval System is an epochal system which produces a three-dimensional sound space by applying the most
suitable processing to the sound signal on the basis of the human listening mechanism. This permits real depth and sound
location, considered as difficult to realize with conventional 2-channel stereo (general stereo). A sufficient effect can be
obtained for any source (CD, tape, broadcasts, etc.). Recording with applied SRS 3D also is possible.
