EQ Everything

December 7, 2011

Bringing balance to the world.

Audyssey came out of the singular desire to create the most accurate sound reproductions possible. Because the magic of the studio, the energy of a concert, the soul of a voice, should be accessible everywhere.

This led us to develop MultEQ, then MultEQ XT and eventually MultEQ XT32. More than a decade of research has gone into these breakthroughs and these patented equalization processes are still driven by our passion. We bring pitch-perfect technology to everything bearing our name. Everywhere you find us. Because though you might like to spend most of your day in a concert hall, the truth is you spend it in your living room, your car and on your smart phone.

We’re excited for CES 2012 next month, where we can show how our technology is adaptable to all manner of sound devices. Now some of the world’s leading companies are now using our sound correction solutions.

Cell phone manufacturers are turning to Audyssey to get big performance out of little speakers. A cell phone by itself can send a conversation or a message to your mother this Christmas, but it’s EQ and Audyssey’s other technologies that will bring her voice to you… with natural bass and less background noise. So when she can’t be in the room, it can still sound like she is.

That kind of innovation is why luxury automobile manufactures such as Jaguar and Volvo are using our systems. Car audio, with its cushioned leather seats, curved windows and multiple speaker placements, is among the most challenging interiors to EQ. Our microphones placed throughout the cabin find out exactly where those distortions are happening. The resulting corrections from MultEQ unmuffle the vocals and send the deepest low frequencies to every passenger.

Even the newest televisions include our EQ and sound technologies. Companies used to boast high-definition screens but were only able to deliver low fidelity (lo-fi) due to the constraints of small speakers and hidden speaker placement. Audyssey helps Sanyo, Toshiba and Insignia overcome the design limitations of flat screen televisions to bring richer audio into your home. And our EQ works to keep the acoustics in balance and preserve the clarity of voices, even in whispers or low volumes, and automatically adjust for the wide acoustics of music videos or live concerts.

And MultEQ with your home theater system actually analyzes your living space and creates a custom solution to perfect your audio. It’s the same Audyssey technology IMAX uses in their theaters.

The performance is being noticed by everyone. That’s why Stereophile named MultEQ XT32 their Accessory of the Year for 2011.

Our belief in EQ Everything has brought our EQ everywhere. It’s in your car. It’s in your home. It’s in your pocket. EQ Everything has even allowed top music producers the freedom to leave the studio. They can record in their homes; they record in theaters. There really isn’t anywhere they can’t record.

Except maybe their Jaguars. But only because the drum sets wouldn’t fit.
