Diggnation and Dolby Team to Provide Podcast Listeners with a Surround Sound Experience; Episode 14 is a Special One-Time Demonstration Podcast Program Offering a Preview with Dolby Headphone Technology

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2005--Diggnation, a weekly web/tech culture show, today announced a collaboration with Dolby Laboratories (NYSE:DLB) to deliver a special one-time demonstration podcast offering a preview of Dolby(R) Headphone technology. Dolby Headphone technology delivers 5.1 surround sound over any set of standard headphones. Recorded at Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco, Episode #14 will be available to listeners on Saturday, October 1, 2005.

"Dolby Headphone technology offers 5.1 surround sound via any type of headphones, from the inexpensive bud-style headphones to high-end electrostatic headphones," said Jack Buser, Director, Consumer Electronics Technology, Dolby Laboratories. "Diggnation will offer its podcast audience a preview of this technology, which is already available to manufacturers of PC and CE devices, including portable music and media players."

“Once our listeners hear that Dolby Headphone provides surround sound from any set of headphones, I'm sure they'll be looking for portable media players with this technology built-in”

Dolby Headphone technology can be included in almost anything that is equipped with a headphone output, such as portable DVD players, PCs, digital TVs, wireless products, and virtually any other device that can process stereo or multichannel audio.

With Dolby Headphone-enabled devices, consumers can listen to music and watch movies with the dramatic surround effects of a 5.1-channel soundtrack. The "listener fatigue" phenomenon, common to headphones, is eliminated. Dolby Headphone technology creates a spacious and natural sound field that listeners can enjoy for hours. Further, with Dolby Headphone, users can enjoy high-quality personal surround sound anytime, anywhere, and without disturbing family, roommates, or neighbors.

"Once our listeners hear that Dolby Headphone provides surround sound from any set of headphones, I'm sure they'll be looking for portable media players with this technology built-in," said Kevin Rose of Diggnation.
