SRS Labs (NASDAQ:SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio enhancement, and voice post-processing technologies, announced today that the CE industry's most popular front-rendered surround sound technology, SRS TruSurround®, has now shipped in more than 350-million units worldwide1 and that the technology is on target to reach a penetration of more than 400 million units by the end of 2012.

"Today's consumers expect a great entertainment experience from new TVs right out of the box," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Senior Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "Despite the unavoidable compromises TV makers have to make in their quest to deliver thinner, more stylish flat panel TVs, audio quality doesn't need to suffer when they select any one of our immersive surround sound technologies. That's principally why our TruSurround line of surround solutions is the most popular front rendered surround technology family in the world, allowing our partners to deliver a high-quality, immersive surround sound experience that compliments the fantastic displays of their HD flat-panel TV or enhance the audio capabilities of their soundbars."

Found in nearly every CE products, from TVs and soundbars to PCs and tablets, some of the added benefits of SRS TruSurround include:

  • Surround sound virtualization for 1.0 to 6.1 input channels and up to 3.1 output channel configurations
  • Extremely broad sweet spot for maximum realism and enjoyment
  • Sculpted bass to optimize low frequency performance of small drivers and enclosures
  • Dialog enhancement to ensure clear and intelligible vocals
  • Definition control for maximum high-frequency realism and clarity
  • Bass management for subwoofer and center speaker designs
