Company's WOW Audio Technology Rapidly Becoming the Standard Solution For Stereo Enhancement

SANTA ANA, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRSL), a leading provider of innovative audio, voice and semiconductor technology solutions, today announced that Sony, one of the world's most respected electronics and entertainment brands, has expanded its use of SRS Labs' WOW audio technology to include desktop personal computers.
