| NewQ Equalizers Use SRS 3D Sound and TruSurround to
Deliver Rich and Emmersive Sound to Multimedia Applications |
SANTA ANA, Calif., May 26 /PRNewswire/NEWSdesk -- SRS Labs, Inc., a leading provider of complete audio and voice solutions, has awarded a technology license to La Mirada, CA-based NeoWave for the implementation of SRS 3D Sound and TruSurround in NeoWave's new line of computer equalizers. The NewQ 1379 and NewQ GOLD target the computer multimedia market delivering unprecedented sound performance for booming Internet and gaming applications. "The SRS technologies are the heart of these products," states Nelson Lee of NeoWave. "For the NewQ 1379, SRS 3D Sound retrieves the spatial information from recordings and restores them to their original 3D sound field. In the NewQ GOLD, TruSurround provides stunning virtual audio for PC Home Theater Systems in an after-market solution. In both instances, SRS Labs' technologies added the punch and realism we were seeking for these peripheral devices." Thomas Yuen, Chairman and CEO of SRS Labs adds, "With PC manufacturers focusing on cutting cost, many of the value-added features, including audio enhancement, are falling by the wayside. This situation has resulted in new opportunities for after-market accessories like the NewQ products and we see a definite market shift from the traditional 'built-in' sound implementations to new 'add-on' peripherals. We anticipate this market building momentum as the Internet and other multimedia applications become strongholds in our daily lives." The NewQ 1379 is a real-time 7-band equalizer that livens up the sound performance on PCs creating crisp, clear 3-dimensional sound. As a universal peripheral, the NewQ 1379 is 100% compatible with all sound cards and PC systems. NewQ 1379 is available for an MSRP of $59.99. The NewQ GOLD is the next generation equalizer supporting digital audio with SRS Labs' TruSurround technology. NewQ Gold remixes the 5.1-channels of Dolby Digital (TM), which is the standard audio format of DVD, for playback on two traditional speakers -- without degradation of surround sound performance. Users can experience deep, rich surround sound from their multimedia applications including music, MPEG video, games, Internet audio and DVD movies through the two standard speakers installed on their PC. The NewQ GOLD will be available in June 1999. Both NewQ products are available for delivery from NeoWave and NewQ System, Inc. http://www.newq.co.kr.com About TruSurround About SRS Labs, Inc.
