SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRSL), officially recognized as one of America’s Greatest Brands and the industry leader in surround sound, audio and voice technologies, today announced that JVC, a leading technology brand for home entertainment electronics, has incorporated SRS StudioSound HD™, the industry’s most advanced all-in-one audio enhancement solution suite, within their new line of home theater soundbars.
“JVC’s brand legacy undeniably stands for performance and innovation so we are excited that JVC has decided to incorporate our flagship and highly advanced SRS StudioSound HD surround sound solution suite in their new line of soundbars,” said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. “According to CEA and multiple other industry surveys, less than 30-percent of households in North America enjoy a traditional home audio set-up with 5.1 speaker systems either because of the associated expense or a lack of space, not to mention the visual clutter of having wires and speakers everywhere. That’s what makes soundbars so appealing – they are compact, affordable, and are specifically designed to take advantage of today’s plethora of multichannel content to deliver a compelling surround sound experience, much to the delight of consumers everywhere.”
SRS StudioSound HD is a highly advanced, comprehensive front-rendered surround sound solution suite intended to solve the most common consumer listening complaints, including inconsistent volume levels, unintelligible vocals, and poor, dimension-less sound. SRS StudioSound HD automatically detects and levels abrupt volume fluctuations that normally occur when programming switches to commercial breaks or while changing channels. It also intelligently separates vocals from all other content and dynamically adjusts the dialog level to ensure that it’s always clearly understood. Additionally, StudioSound HD delivers an immersive front-rendered surround sound experience, which significantly enhances the depth and dimension of audio and further improves accuracy of surround sound rendered from multi-channel and stereo sources.
“At JVC, we take great pride in developing high quality, innovative products and, therefore, we are thrilled to announce that our new line of home theater soundbars feature SRS StudioSound HD,” said Kiyomi Okano, Group Leader of JVC’s Development Group. “We chose to implement SRS StudioSound HD not only to give our soundbars an edge over the competition, but to ensure consumers receive the most compelling and engaging audio entertainment experience, one that would leave them amazed after every use.”
Designed to effectively deliver a premium home theater-like experience right out of the box, JVC’s new line of SRS StudioSound HD-equipped soundbar models TH-BC1, -BC2 and -BC3 are now available at various retailers in North America and Japan.
