Neural Surround for Broadcast
Neural Audio brought you the first digital radio surround sound broadcast. Now we offer Neural Surround--the only surround technology commercially adopted by radio broadcasters nationwide.
Neural Surround enables broadcasters to send surround programming over existing airwaves. They can smoothly intermix stereo and surround elements without impacting daily programming.
And listeners can easily access surround sound content. In fact, more than 65 million people will hear a Neural Surround radio broadcast in 2008!
With 2 dedicated 24/7 surround channels on the XM/Sirius Network, 72 NPR stations and dedicated surround internet streams, Neural Surround has emerged as the standard for digital radio broadcast.
