SRS HD Audio Lab: History 101 It’s not very often that we here at Legit Reviews have wandered into the audio spectrum for our product reviews, but we are about to change all of that. To start it all off we get a chance to take a look at a brand new product that is being released today by SRS Labs.
Now, who is SRS Labs, you may ask? Well, SRS Labs is a company that produces audio enhancement software. They are based in Santa Ana California and at one time they were a part of the Hughes Aircraft Company’s audio division and were the developers of the Sound Retrieval System Technology; hence the name SRS. They separated from Hughes in 1993 to form the SRS Labs we know today.
Okay, enough of the history lesson; let’s get to the real story behind this article: the SRS Labs HD Audio Lab software. HD Audio Lab is the newest in a long line of psychoacoustic 3D audio processing products that are developed and sold by SRS Labs. These include:. TruVolume.
StudioSound HD. TruSurround HD. TruSurround XT. Headphone 360. TruSurround HD4. TruBass.
Dialog Clarity. WOW HD. Circle Surround. CS Headphone.
CS Auto You may or may not have heard of some of these, but if it is up to HD Audio Lab you will be hearing plenty about them in the very near future because if what I have had the pleasure of listening to so far with the HD Audio Lab software is what we can expect now and in the future, then we can all expect really good things from SRS Labs and their products. Also, with pricing like $29.99 for the download version and $39.99 for the retail box version this is an investment that’s hard to pass up. SRS Labs has made a name for themselves by making audio enhancement products for everything from the PC to the IPod you carry around every day.
A quick look at their website will reveal a whole new world of audio products that are easy to install and are even easier to use and manipulate.
SRS TruSurround HD Ideal for Midrange and High-end TV Market SANTA CLARA, Calif. – May 8, 2007 – Tensilica, Inc. And SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRSL) today announced that SRS Labs has ported its TruSurround HD virtual sound audio technology to Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio Engine for Xtensa processors and the Diamond Standard 330HiFi Audio Processor.
SRS TruSurround HD is ideal for designers of system-on-chip (SOC) devices for the midrange and high-end digital television and digital home entertainment markets. Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio Engine is the most popular commercial audio processor core for SOC designs, and this year Tensilica’s customers are forecasting they will ship 100 million HiFi Audio Engine enabled processor cores in a wide variety of consumer devices.
SRS TruSurround HD accepts any input source, up to a seven-channel (6.1) audio source, and renders surround sound from 2.0 – 3.1 speaker configurations. When televisions featuring SRS TruSurround HD receive multichannel or Lt/Rt content, TruSurround HD virtualizes the channels, creating 'phantom' speakers that appear to extend all around the listener, providing a superior multichannel surround sound effect. When the audio source is mono or stereo, TruSurround HD creates an expansive three-dimensional sound field, provides definition to high frequencies, and offers a center control feature to adjust the mix of center information. SRS TruSurround HD utilizes proprietary algorithms to enhance signal clarity and improve the intelligibility of dialog, while psychoacoustic techniques maximize the perceived bass response. TruSurround HD is designed to compensate for a system that does not include tweeters for high-frequency performance by including a definition processor to provide maximum high-frequency clarity. TruSurround HD also includes bass management for subwoofer and center speaker designs.
The final result is immersive sound that surrounds the listener, bass that rumbles and crystal clear high-frequency reproduction. Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio Engine is optimized with hundreds of specialized audio instructions to increase code density (reducing memory requirements) and lower power (reducing MHz requirements), making it very efficient for a wide range of audio-enabled consumer products. By adding SRS TruSurround HD to its library of available audio decoders and encoders, Tensilica expects to expand the popularity of its HiFi 2 Audio Engine to designers of popular digital television sets. The SRS TruSurround HD decoder provides SOC designers with a drop-in, proven, high-quality 24-bit audio hardware solution with over 20 encoders and decoders for a variety of different audio standards. 'Tensilica’s customers plan to deliver optimal audio solutions for the home entertainment market based on the HiFi 2 Audio Engine. TruSurround HD will provide a best in class audio experience and the available port from SRS Labs will provide a time to market advantage,' stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica’s director of mobile multimedia. 'SRS WOW XT and SRS Xspace 3D, two very popular mobile sound solutions, are also available for the HiFi 2 Audio Engine.'
'By utilizing the audio-optimized instructions in the HiFi 2 Audio Engine, we were able to create a very efficient port of our TruSurround HD technology in a few weeks versus more typically months for other architectures,' said Lenka Koloma, senior director, Strategic IC Partner and Sales, SRS Labs. 'Tensilica’s proven HiFi 2 Audio Engine coupled with TruSurround HD provides SOC designers with a quick way to add an enhanced audio subsystem that will be valued by consumers.' Pricing and Availability TruSurround HD is available directly from SRS Labs for licensees of Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio Engine or Diamond 330HiFi Audio Processor.
