About the Technology:
SRS , the Sound Retrieval System , came about after many years of
research on the psychoacoustic of sound and the dynamics of the human
hearing system. SRS retrieves the spatial information from recordings
and restores the original three-dimensional sound field. As a result, the
reproduced sound is much closer to a live performance. Like live
performances, SRS has no critical listening position (sweet spot).
Listeners can move around the room and continue to be immersed in full
three-dimensional sound.
How the Technology Works:
A microphone does not possess the ability to inter pret the direction a
sound is coming from in the same way that the human ear does. However,
when the audio source is recorded, directional audio cues are still present
in the recording. Without the proper processing of the ambient
information, traditional stereo reproduces a flat, two-dimensional sound
field.
By breaking down the stereo signal into its various signal components,
it is possible to isolate and restore these spatial cues and place them in the
proper space relative to the direct sounds, such as a soloist or dialogue.
These spatial cues are restored by the use of Head Related Transfer
Functions (HRTFs) , which process ambient sounds via patented
frequency response correction curves.
