TruSurround HD

Because directors and producers put a lot of effort into bringing you great surround sound, our scientists and engineers put just as much effort into providing you the best possible sound out of your TV's speakers or the newly emerging market of sound bars.

We are experts on both how sound is transmitted and how sound is perceived, and we understand what the ear needs to perceive enveloping sound from all around. When developing TruSurround HD we combined a variety of state-of-the-art technologies that enable home entertainment products, such as TVs, to deliver  more natural sounding audio.  These are technologies that make vocals and dialog rise above the mix of special effects, immerse the listener in surround sound, and give you full bass without a room full of speakers.

Dialog Clarity. Audio creators today have more sound tools than ever to work with, and more channels to put sound in. So naturally, they create rich, dense audio for any purpose—movies, TV, music and games. Problem is, with such heavily layered audio tracks, sometimes the vocals and dialog get lost in the shuffle … or buried under sound effects. Dialog Clarity boosts the frequency range of the human voice in a way that makes the human voice rise above the audio effects, so you can hear clearly every word you’re supposed to hear.

Immersive Surround Sound. This is the core technology of all the TruSurround suites, and it processes any multichannel input, sending it to two or three TV speakers after some very sophisticated processing. This allows the listener to perceive enveloping surround sound from just the TV speakers or external speaker bar. Rear and surround channels are processed separately from front channels, and through our study of psychoacoustics and knowing the difference between how sound is perceived front to back, we process and adjust the surround channels’ waveforms so they are perceived as coming from behind the listener.

Improved Bass. We know small speakers cannot reproduce deep bass. It’s physically impossible. But bass sounds are always accompanied by overtones, and if your ears are given all the overtones, your perception will fill in the ‘missing fundamental.’ SRS patented bass technology was developed based on an amazing combination of psychoacoustic understanding and technical know-how, managing to restore the sensation of deep bass. It identifies the signals that cannot be reproduced, and restores and boosts the overtones. It’s all in your head, courtesy of some nifty audio wave processing, and the restoration really is magic. 

High Frequency Clarity. Techniques used in digital compression or broadcast transmission can reduce the clarity of audio content, leaving you with a rather lackluster audio experience. SRS’ premium high definition technology restores clarity by enhancing the high frequency content, bringing into focus the rain falling or wind howling in a movie scene or the cymbals and acoustic guitar strumming in your favorite song.

And when the audio source is stereo, TruSurround HD defaults to SRS WOW HD™. WOW HD is analyzes the stereo signal and restores width and depth from a 2-channel input for an immersive 3D audio entertainment experience with deep, rich bass.

TruSurround HD provides enveloping, immersive surround sound, where every seat in the room is the sweet spot. And miraculously done with only the two or three speakers that are built into the TV or an external speaker bar, eliminated the need for multiple external speakers and wires that can clutter-up your room.
