The 6.1 Matrix Surround Decoding
System |
%20SRS%20Labs%20Inc_files/illustrate_cs2_small.gif) Circle Surround II (“CS II”) is a
high-performance 6.1 channel matrix surround sound decoding system.
It is the next-generation of the company’s original Circle Surround
technology, incorporating powerful industry-first features including
our proprietary dialog clarity enhancement technology and added
cinema-like bass to the front channels and subwoofer.
Dialog
Clarity: CS II is the only matrix surround sound technology that
includes a new Dialog Clarity feature for movies and television
programming. Acting as a "lens" for audio, this feature makes dialog
in content such as DVD movies and digital satellite and cable
programming pop out of the surround audio effects, allowing the
listener to easily discern what the actors say.
Cinema-like
Bass: CS II is the only matrix surround sound
technology that includes a new patented bass enrichment feature, for
the L, R and LFE channels, producing an incredible heart-pounding
cinema-like listening experience. Based on SRS Labs' patented
TruBass technology, the listener perceives the bass produced by the
speakers to be an octave below the actual physical capabilities of
the speakers adding exciting, deeper bass effects to any program or
game.
Original multichannel content or "programming" can also be
encoded into two channels (the same space required for stereo), then
stored, broadcast or streamed as two channels over stereo
infrastructures such as radio and internet broadcasting, satellite
transmission or cable and television broadcasting. Once delivered to
the end listener, the CS II decoder can then convert the two
channels of CS-encoded content back into 6.1 channels with Dialog
Clarity and TruBass enrichment for playback over 6.1 multimedia or
home theater speaker systems.
Additionally, CS II is an extremely versatile surround decoder
able to deliver up to 6.1 channels of full-bandwidth audio with
incredible rear surround separation from mono, stereo, Dolby
Surround and Circle Surround-encoded material. This backward
compatibility allows consumers to take full advantage of their home
entertainment systems when playing CDs, watching a video, or
watching digital and satellite broadcast or television.
Circle Surround-encoded material can be fully experienced using a
CS II, CS, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II decoder and a
multimedia speaker system. Otherwise, it is played back in rich,
vibrant stereo.
Benefits of CS II:
- Full multichannel surround can be realized from CS-encoded,
Dolby Surround-encoded, non-encoded stereo, and mono sources
- Delivers crystal clear dialog clarity to movies and TV
programming allowing the listener to easily discern what the actor
says
- Provides impressive deep, rich, heart-thumping cinema-like
bass
- Adds rear center surround channel allowing up to 6.1 channels
of audio during playback
- CS II can also be applied to Dolby Digital and DTS decoders,
providing dialog clarity and enabling dramatic, cinema-like bass
enrichments
- Improved channel separation from Rear-to-Rear channels and
Rear-to-Front channels
- Provides a more immersive surround sound experience with
broader sweet spot than other discrete multichannel technologies

Circle Surround (“CS”) is a powerful and versatile multichannel
decoder capable of delivering up to 5.1 channels of audio from any
stereo, matrix-encoded or Circle Surround encoded material. The

With Circle Surround, listeners may now enjoy their 5.1 home
entertainment systems with any stereo source material including
music on CDs, television programming, cable broadcasts and movies on
DVD and VHS. It also decodes any matrix-encoded material, providing
better performance than older systems such as Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby Pro Logic II. Optimal results can be achieved with playback of
Circle Surround-encoded source material.

CS II, CS, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II decoder and a
multimedia speaker system. Otherwise, it is played back in rich,
vibrant stereo.
Benefits of Circle Surround:
- Creates 5.1 discrete audio channels from any stereo material
- Decodes matrix-encoded material with better performance

Virtual Surround Sound With
Dialog Clarity, Increased Bass and Expanded
Soundstage |
Top |
TruSurround XT is a feature-rich virtual surround sound
technology that is based on and builds upon the company’s popular
TruSurround technology. TruSurround XT adds three unique SRS audio
enhancement techniques; Dialog Clarity, TruBass bass enhancement and
the company’s award-winning WOW stereo audio enhancement technology
that produces an immersive sound experience from standard stereo
material. By including the proprietary dialog clarity enhancement
technology, TruSurround XT enables the listener to more easily and
clearly understand television and movie dialog despite the competing
environmental noise and sound effects of the background.
Additionally, TruSurround XT features a patented cinema-like bass
technology providing the perception of deeper, richer low bass
tones. With TruSurround XT, consumers will realize the full
experience of Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or DTS encoded
programming over their computers or through the use of two-speaker
audio systems and headphones.
Dialog
Clarity - TruSurround XT includes an exciting new audio
technique that acts much like a lens does for vision, bringing movie
dialog into “focus” during the playback of any surround-encoded
material such as DVD movies and satellite and cable television
programs. Speech and center dialog becomes much clearer and crisper,
making it easier to discern from today’s sophisticated movie
effects.
TruBass
- TruSurround XT uses SRS hear amidst TruBass technology to create
incredible deep rich bass from all speaker types, including
headphones. This patented technique, based on psychoacoustic
theories of the human hearing system, allows a person to perceive
significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the
physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
Incredible Stereo with WOW
- TruSurround XT goes a step beyond the standard TruSurround
technology by processing standard two-channel stereo material as
well as multichannel encoded material. SRS WOW technology literally
“WOWs!” anyone who hears it by creating a soundstage that spreads
the image upward and all around, making this a incredibly dramatic
improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker
system.
TruSurround XT Headphone
– This technology provides a surround sound listening experience
over headphones. When listening to multichannel content such as DVD
movies over headphones, the listening experience is fundamentally
different than listening to speakers. Since the headphone speaker
drivers are covering the outer ear, the listening experience differs
greatly from traditional speaker playback. TruSurround XT uses
patented headphone perspective curves to solve this problem and
provides a non-fatiguing, immersive, home theater listening
experience. TruSurround XT Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D
audio from mono and stereo material.
Benefits of TruSurround XT:
- Carefully places content in the correct location paying
special attention to center channel dialog placement
- Provides a wider and more dynamic sound stage
- Improves the listening experience with added bass
- Creates a broad sweet spot for a realistic experience
- Instantly improves the surround sound listening experience for
the majority of consumers who do not have 5.1 speaker systems
- Works great in any room no matter what the furniture
configuration
- A must for portable DVD players
- Simple implementation for satellite and cable set-top box

True Virtual Surround Sound From
Just Two Speakers |
Top |
TruSurround is SRS Labs’ original virtual surround sound
technology that delivers a full and immersive virtual surround sound
experience from any two-speaker playback system, including a stereo
television, using any multichannel audio source such as Dolby
Digital, Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic.
While digital audio provides unparalleled quality, multiple
speakers must be used in order to “surround” the listener and take
full advantage of the 5.1 separately encoded audio channels. With
TruSurround, the six discrete channels of digital audio are
processed into just two channels and delivered over two speakers
giving the listener a completely immersive experience and the
sensory perception that they are surrounded by additional “phantom”
speakers.
Manufacturers of DVD players, televisions or digital satellite or
cable set-top boxes can license TruSurround for use in their
products to create virtual surround sound experiences for their
customers who do not have 4.1 or 5.1 speaker systems connected.
Benefits of TruSurround:
- Carefully places content in correct location paying special
attention to center channel dialog placement
- Creates broad sweet spot for a truly realistic experience
- Instantly improves surround sound listening experience for the
majority of consumers who do not have 5.1 speaker systems
- Works great in any room no matter what the furniture
configuration
- Simple implementation for satellite and cable set-top box
