The home theater audio experience from most of the off-the-shelf televisions can be disappointing. It seems that no matter how big most of the newer flat panel digital televisions get, we are still left with “small screen” audio performance that leaves the consumer investing money in expensive, high-end surround sound systems.
This disappointed comes from the fact that the typical listening experience is a limited sensory event featuring speakers that are not aligned with the listeners' ears, a sound trajectory that is narrow, and linear and bass reproduction that is minimal and insufficient.
The D2Audio SoundSuite solution is a collection of advanced audio processing features that deliver the highest possible sound quality in either two-channel or multi-channel systems. The flexibility of the D2Audio SoundSuite means that an immersive, home theater sensory experience and superlative sound can be obtained from unexpected places such as flat panel TVs, media PCs, and iPod docking stations.
Skip Taylor (pictured), PhD., Director of D2Audio Technology for Intersil will be on hand at the D2Audio booth at S21902 in the South Hall, to talk about the innovative technology and demonstrate its performance.
“Our listening room at the booth will allow customers to hear just how good the listening experience can be with a digital television optimized with Intersil’s D2Audio SoundSuite solution,” says Taylor.
Intersil's D2Audio SoundSuite advanced intelligent features include:
- D2Audio WideSound™ - An advanced two-channel image field enhancement designed to widen the sound stage.
- D2Audio DeepBass™ - A sophisticated bass enhancement using psycho-acoustics and dynamic filtering.
- D2Audio AudioAlign™ - Sound positioning for alignment with the video display.
- D2Audio DigitalEQ™ - System level speaker correction and optimizations with preset content/source voicing.
In addition to AVR-class sound quality, the audio processing features of Intersil's D2Audio SoundSuite give manufacturers the ability to deliver a scalable range of end-products with significant differentiation. Additionally, manufacturers can eliminate additional component costs by taking advantage of the DSP processing horsepower embedded into every D2Audio Digital Audio EngineTM IC platform.
