Neural Surround Digital Music Mode

Making Compressed Music Sound Better

Compressed digital audio provides consumers more choices for experiencing music--anytime, anywhere. However, critics claim the quality of the sound experience can be compromised for the sake of convenience.

The Problem

Digitally compressed tracks often create noticeable playback issues in high-end home theater and car audio systems.

Image Collapse: Stereo audio compression causes the image to collapse forward to the front-center speaker. Unnatural Surround & Image Distortion: Stereo compression schemes mask digital encoding artifacts, resulting in unnatural elements in surround speakers.

The Solution

No matter what the source device or type of compression, Neural Surround Digital Music Mode uses Dynamic Image Control Enhancement (DICE) technology to enhance the surround experience.

Broad & Stable Image: A consistent balanced front sound-stage Natural Surround & Proper Image Placement: Clean audio with rich surround sound

The Result

Neural Surround Digital Music Mode delivers an immersive surround sound experience. And listeners keep consistent audio and entertainment quality even when switching program and device input sources.

Music Like Never Before

A music library recorded in stereo doesn't need to sound lifeless or one-dimensional. Many great artists, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra and Pink Floyd, understood that stereo could envelop the listener just as surround sound does today.

Unfortunately to fully experience stereo, you used to need a listening environment designed as meticulously as a music studio. But not anymore! Neural Surround's patented technique extracts the subtleties of music. Then it assigns those subtleties to the speaker closest to where it would naturally occur in a professional listening environment.

This creates a perfect listening experience in most any home and from any sources--CDs, digital music players, iPods, radio, television, computers and more! Just connect your music library to a Neural Surround receiver, close your eyes and discover details in your stereo music that you've never heard before.

CUSTOMER QUOTES
"One of the things I was most interested in... was the Neural Surround mode. XM Pops with Neural surround worked well, adding a nice sense of spaciousness that is often lacking in XM broadcasts."
