Neural Surround

Neural Surround™, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring the
excitement of surround music to more of America’s listening
audience. It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail
of surround sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With
superior spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural
Surround™ draws the brain’s attention to sonic details in musical
instruments, vocals, and ambience that are typically masked by other
playback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience the
richness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before. As
the chosen format for XM Satellite Radio’s new XM HD surround
programming, Neural Surround will help deliver more surround music
to more listeners than any other broadcast format. XM Satellite Radio
will be the first radio company -to broadcast surround sound on the
radio 24 hours a day and will offer three channels fully dedicated to
Neural Surround™ music. This alone will amount to more than 25,000
hours of Neural Surround™ music each year.
