SRS WOW HD
SRS WOW HD
Remarkable enhancement for
mono and stereo playback
SRS WOW HD™ improves the dynamic audio performance of compressed
and uncompressed audio by expanding the size of the audio image and
creating a deep, rich bass response. The patented techniques in
SRS WOW HD widen the horizontal sound field and raise the vertical sound
image, retrieving information lost in the mixing process to create a more
natural audio experience. SRS WOW HD also shapes a maximized bass
response using sculpted filters and driver physics to go beyond the low-
frequency limitations of speakers and headphones. SRS WOW HD also adds
Definition™ Control, for realistic clarity, and the new Center Control, for
dynamic extraction and positioning of dialog.
Immersive 3D audio SRS WOW HD adjusts the space of the stereo image and eliminates the
narrow stereo sweet spot and creates an immersive stereo image from
mono and stereo source material. It also restores audio realism which is
often masked by traditional recording and playback techniques.
Center Control SRS WOW HD adjusts the mix of the center information into the stereo
image. It works in tandem with the space control to create the perfect
balance, acting as a “zoom” lens for sound. It can bring content to the fore-
front to dominate the mix or fade it backward, virtually eliminating the
content all together.
Optimal headphone listening SRS WOW HD includes techniques based on patented HRTFs to deliver a
natural, non-fatiguing headphone listening experience by placing the
perception of the stereo sound image outside of one’s head making it more
realistic and immersive.
Elevated sound image SRS WOW HD adjusts the horizontal plane of the audio image from non-
optimally placed speakers placing it at an appropriate listening level.
Definition Control SRS WOW HD delivers a livelier, more brilliant sound. The purified sound
can be heard in musical vocals, high-frequency instruments, and exposes
details of ambient sound present in the audio source.
Bigger bass SRS WOW HD includes psychoacoustic bass enhancement techniques
which enhance the perception of low bass frequencies from speakers and
headphones which, under normal conditions, can not produce these
frequencies due to the inherent low frequency cut off and driver size limi-
tations.
Audio level management SRS WOW HD includes an audio level management system which monitors
the output levels of the entire product audio system and manages the
level dynamically to prevent sudden audio clipping.
