Original Press Release:
SRS Labs Provides CE Manufacturers a Graphic EQ Solution Expressly for Mobile Phones and Portable Media Devices
SRS Labs' Mobile EQ(TM) offers 10-band graphic EQ solution for mobile devices providing unprecedented audio control and personalization - New audio process is available for ARM 9-based processors and Windows Mobile OS - Provides dramatic improvement in device battery life due to low resource requirements
SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 21 / SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRSL), a leading provider of surround sound, audio and voice technologies today announced the launch of SRS Mobile EQ, a graphic EQ (audio equalizer) solution designed specifically for mobile phones and portable media devices.
SRS Mobile EQ software-based graphic equalizer supports up to 10 frequency bands and offers superior audio quality through adjustable frequency band controls. Manufacturers can apply SRS Mobile EQ on a variety of mobile devices including mobile phones, PDAs and portable media players, providing extremely accurate control of frequency range. With Mobile EQ, SRS Labs introduces a proprietary filtering algorithm that minimizes interband interference. This is a marked improvement over EQ solutions currently in the market that use a series of bandpass filters where the filters in one band often cause interference in the adjacent frequency band.
For product developers, SRS Mobile EQ implementations can start as low as only 4 MIPS/channel. EQ is a standard function for music phones; however, in mobile phones battery life is always a critical factor because music listening time reduces talk time. SRS saw the need to provide a significantly lower MIPS/memory EQ for mobile devices, which not only saves precious battery life, but also provides up to a full 10-bands of extremely accurate EQ for superior sound quality for music and video. SRS Mobile EQ provides ±12dB per band to achieve higher quality sound at higher decibel levels on the small-sized speakers common to personal telecommunication and portable media devices, meeting the "loudness" requirements of many telecomm carriers.
For mobile phone and portable media device users, SRS Mobile EQ, one element of a range of mobile audio solutions from SRS, offers unprecedented audio control, allowing consumers to craft and save their preferred sound styles, for headphone and speaker listening, as personalized mobile music and video presets. In addition to user presets, SRS Labs, a leader in audio processing, has expertly tuned presets for SRS Mobile EQ, which includes Classical, Jazz, Dance, Rap/Hip Hop, Rock, Live Concert and Normal (Flat EQ).
"The demonstrable benefits of the SRS Mobile EQ technology allows our platform partners and portable device manufacturers to differentiate their mobile devices from all others on the market today, with improved audio quality and increased battery life," explained Tom Yuen, CEO for SRS Labs.
SRS Mobile EQ is available immediately on the Microsoft Windows Mobile Operating System as an object code package for ARM9-based processors. Subsequent platforms will be available shortly. Commercial licensing for SRS Mobile EQ is available directly from SRS Labs.
