Audyssey Premium Television to Debut with Toshiba this Year

LAS VEGAS, NV – (Marketwire – January 10, 2012) – Audyssey, a leader in consumer and professional audio, today announced that Audyssey Premium Television, a suite of technologies specifically designed for televisions, will be used in Toshiba televisions in 2012. Premium Television promises to be the most advanced suite of technologies for audio correction in the industry. Toshiba will demo this new audio technology in its booth during CES 2012 (LVCC Central Hall Booth #11026).

Audyssey has been the industry leader in audio solutions and technologies since 2002. The move with Toshiba marks another step forward for the company in the competitive television market. With Audyssey EQ already being implemented in Toshiba televisions, the technology suite included in Audyssey Premium Television enhances the consumer experience even further.

Premium Television offers solutions to the acoustical limitations of modern flat-screen televisions. As the screens have gotten thinner and flatter, the speakers have gotten smaller. Now, most in-unit audio systems are hidden by the enclosure and covered. Audyssey EQ, the foundation of Premium Television, overcomes the limitations and the effects of resonances and reflections with its advanced algorithms.

Premium Television also uses Audyssey BassXT for dramatically deeper bass performance and Dynamic Volume to tame commercials and other wild swings in volume for more consistent sound and a better listening experience.

“As TVs get thinner, it becomes increasingly harder to maintain high-quality sound,” said Scott Ramirez, vice president of product marketing and development, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. “Audyssey Premium Television helps ensure that Toshiba customers get both a quality video experience and a quality audio experience.”

Toshiba, a world leader in electronics since 1939, operates all over the world and is known in the television industry for its incorporation of progressive technologies, like projection imaging and glasses-free 3D. Audyssey is proud to be chosen by Toshiba to help the company continue that spirit of innovation.
