SOUND
SRS
Sound Retrieval System (SRS) Labs understands how sound travels and how itisperceived
by the ears, this is called psycho acoustics. With this understanding, SRS Labs was able to
create a surround sound effect from only 2 channels, thus eliminating the need for surround
sound speakers and additional wiring. This technology lead to the creation of SRS
TruSurround
of the dialog and bass response while enjoying movies,
instances the dialog
with SRS TruSurround XT the dialog will boost with clarity and the frequency range of the
human voice.
The SRS TruSurround XT is able to reproduce the sensation of deep bass from small
drivers by identifying the audio signals that can't be reproduced
without distortion and restoring and boosting those that can.
Providing a bass response typically associated with a much
larger driver.
