Spatializer PCE (Phase Corrected Equalization) polishes and more clearly defines both dialog and music through any ordinary set of television or PC speakers, while simultaneously enveloping the listener in an immersive surround sound field.

With Spatializer PCE high frequencies are clearer, crisper and more brilliant while low frequencies are more dramatic, tighter and have more impact. Spatializer PCE gives the manufacturer an inexpensive way to dramatically improve the sound of low-end loudspeakers, such as the kind found in televisions, compact or portable stereo systems and computers.

Spatializer PCE is also ideal for improving the quality of Internet audio, which can sound rather lackluster and dull due to compression or low bit rates, and it is easily ported to leading DSPs. It can be applied prior to encoding audio streams, and can just as easily enhance the playback of the decompressed audio. In addition to improving the clarity, intelligibility and impact of both dialog and music, Spatializer PCE includes the Company’s renowned surround sound technology used by both leading consumer electronics manufacturers and award-winning recording engineers and artists. The result is a listening experience that combines the best attributes of “high definition audio” techniques with an exceptionally wide and immersive sound stage.

Spatializer PCE works by both modifying and smoothing non-linear phase response and by creating psychoacoustic cues. Typical equalization techniques cause phase distortion (non-zero group delay) due to non-linear phase response. Spatializer PCE has a nearly-linear phase response, which results in a near-zero group delay. This improves the “naturalness” or transparency of the dialog or music by not adding to the phase distortion already present in many playback systems. The psychoacoustic cues are interpreted by the brain as sounds emanating from virtual speaker sources.

Spatializer PCE can be custom tailored for two or an array of speaker configurations. Indeed, the technology, without a surround sound effect, can enhance single speaker applications as well.
