Personal Listening Space

Product Overview-

Until now, audio enhancement software for headphones required large amounts of processing resources and expensive royalty payments. These applications were not sensitive to the economic realities of the mainstream consumer electronics and PC environment. Some of them even have annoying characteristics like too much reverberation, which make them sound unnatural. Those days are gone.

Spatializer® Natural Headphone™ is a cost effective audio enhancement solution designed to tap the power of the digital signal processor. Spatializer Natural Headphone converts 5.1 channel surround sound into two channels, while providing the listener with the natural sounding surround sound experience. A separate algorithm also processes two channels (stereo) into enhanced virtual surround sound.

Originally designed for stand alone DVD players, Natural Headphone is a superb addition to DVD receivers, Audio-Video receivers, Notebook computers, Mobile (car) Audio and software-based DVD players.

How it Works

Spatializer Natural Headphone creates a dramatic, expansive virtual surround sound field with well-defined center channel dialogue that results in a more immersive and exciting listening experience. User adjustable reverberation allows for customizable surround sound effects. Different listeners require different levels and types of reverberation to achieve a natural sounding presentation. By making this user definable, the listener gets an effect custom tailored to their taste.

Spatializer Natural Headphone is compatible with both Spatializer VirtuaLFE™ (virtual sub-woofer) and Spatializer PCE™ (Phase Corrected Equalization). Spatializer VirtuaLFE creates the perception of subwoofer frequencies without going below the minimum frequency response of the headphones. The result is a more dramatic listening experience even with low cost or “frequency response challenged” headphones. Spatializer PCE polishes and more clearly defines both dialogue and music through any ordinary set of headphones. With Spatializer PCE high frequencies are clearer, crisper and more brilliant while low frequencies are more dramatic, tighter and have more impact. Spatializer Natural Headphone is great for listening to movies with Dolby® Digital, to the new DVD Audio or DTS® audio CDs or to stereo music.
Like all Spatializer software, Spatializer Natural Headphone is easy to integrate into all leading digital signal processors. The scalable architecture allows maximum flexibility by requiring only a small fraction of available MIPS and memory while still providing the highest possible audio enhancement.
