AKG Acoustics surround headphones - Manual (Page 10)

Welcome to digital Cloud 9.
The hearo 888 digital is a digital surround personal listening sys-
tem with the kind of wireless headphones that high-end enthusi-
asts have been waiting for.
Digital radio transmission and
digital antenna diversity circuitry afford virtually noise and dropout-
free reception. Incredible as it may seem, the hearo 888 digital
actually provides the same audio quality as comparable hardwired
headphones.
Patented IVA processing makes the headphone sound seem to
come from loudspeakers, while the integrated Dolby Surround
Pro-Logic and LOGIC7 surround decoders add surround sound
signals.
So, if you are looking for headphones that are equally good at
dramatic movie sound effects, crystal-clear dialog, accurate
music reproduction as well as the most delicate violin sound, the
quietest piano notes, or the most ethereal guitar overtones, then
the Hearo 888 digital is the best choice for your discriminating
ears.
For technical explanations, see page 14.
