SRS Labs' WOW Technology Featured in Sony's New LCD PC/TV Displays
Company's WOW Audio Technology Rapidly Becoming the Standard Solution for Display Monitors
SRS Labs, Inc. , one of the world's leading providers of advanced audio, voice and semiconductor technology solutions, announced today that Sony, one of the world's most respected electronics and entertainment brands, has expanded its use of SRS Labs' WOW(TM) audio technology to include the company's new 17- and 19-inch LCD PC/TV displays, which are expected to be available at retailers in February.
Through the incorporation of SRS WOW technology, the displays provide a powerful, high quality audio performance from the compact speakers built into the unit. WOW dramatically improves the performance of small speakers, such as those found in desktop PCs, by creating a wide and full sound stage and deep rich bass tones that extend beyond the physical placement of the speakers.
Alan Kraemer, executive vice president of technology and business development for SRS Labs said, "SRS Labs' relationship with Sony has spanned several other display and TV products. We are proud that Sony has chosen to yet again, implement WOW into this exciting new product line."
Over 300 million hardware or software products have been shipped or downloaded that include the powerful WOW audio feature. WOW is a combination of SRS 3D Stereo, FOCUS and TruBass post-processing technologies designed specifically for small speaker applications to dramatically enhance the quality of any audio material over a two-speaker system. It delivers the perception of a broadened stereo field, improved dynamics and increased bass performance over a wide range of speaker sizes.
