Audistry™ by Dolby®
Audistry offers a suite of stereo enhancements that give a big boost to TV sound, with a wider stereo image, better bass, and more. Audistry features can be personalised by individuals to suit their own tastes and preferences — to express their individuality, to “hear it the way they like it”.
Audistry’s first processing suite includes the following five elements:
• Sound Space Expander — This stereo image-widening system can expand the perceived sound field without making it sound unnatural or artificial. This is perfect for situations where stereo speakers are located close together as in DVD micro systems, TVs, and PCs. The system also increases the sense of ambience and improves the separation of instruments without diminishing the clarity of vocals and dialogue.
• Sound Space for Headphones — Because headphones are so close to the ear, they are typically unable to create a full, natural sounding environment for the listener. Audistry’s Sound Space for Headphones takes the sound “out of the head” in a natural way, making it sound as though it was produced from real speakers positioned three-dimensionally in front of the listener.
• Natural Bass — Audistry’s Natural Bass is a low-frequency feature that enhances the natural characteristics and performance of each audio system, making it possible for speakers to produce a deeper, richer bass response. It does this without distorting the sound or damaging components, and is designed to perform across a wide range of speakers.
• Intelligent Volume Control — Audistry’s Intelligent Volume Control is a peak limiter and expander, designed to correct sudden volume changes in music and movies, making it possible for listeners to comfortably enjoy a large dynamic range without needing to make regular volume adjustments. Intelligent Volume Control makes the loud sounds softer and the soft sounds louder.
• Mono-to-Stereo Creator — Audistry’s Mono-to-Stereo Creator can enhance content such as old classic movies and mono broadcasts. The mono-to-stereo signal converter automatically translates original mono content to a strong stereo signal.
The first products on the market to include this technology are Sharp’s 2.1 Channel Rack Home Theatre System ANPR1000H launched in Germany, Austria and Russia and Sharp’s SD-SP10 2.1 Channel 1-Bit™ Home Theatre System. Watch this space for other products launching in other territories across Europe.
Great sound is an accepted part of our everyday life. With new products using Dolby Headphone, Dolby Virtual Speaker, and Audistry by Dolby, consumers truly can enjoy Dolby surround sound their way.
