Audyssey Brings Volume Extension to Products with Small Speakers
The Latest Audio Technology from Audyssey Allows Televisions and Mobile Phones to Play Louder
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire – July 27, 2010) - Audyssey® today announced its latest audio technology, Audyssey Volume Extension™. This new technology solves the problem of distortion from small speakers and will be used in televisions, mobile phones and other audio devices. Audyssey Volume Extension uses sophisticated signal processing and principles of human perception to allow higher playback volumes without distortion from devices with small speakers and limited amplifier power.
Small speakers are not capable of playing very loud; if pushed, they distort sound and eventually will be damaged. As a result, television, mobile phone and computer manufacturers apply aggressive volume limitations to their built-in speakers. Audyssey Volume Extension pushes beyond this barrier and enables distortion-free audio performance that nearly doubles the volume while eliminating the risk of damage.
Audyssey’s customized solution splits the incoming audio into frequency bands, then monitors the content in real-time. When distortion exceeds the allowable levels, Volume Extension applies selective blocking to prevent it from being heard. The result is safe delivery of high volume on small televisions, mobile phones and laptops.
