Waves Psycho-Acoustic Bass Technology Enables Small, High Performance Subwoofers for Space Limited Automotive Applications
TOKYO and TEL-AVIV, Israel, Sept. 18 / -- WAVES AUDIO LTD., a leading provider of audio signal processing technologies, announced today that Clarion has expanded its line of powered automotive subwoofer products with MaxxBass® technology. Due to strong market acceptance in Japan and Europe, Clarion now offers three different MaxxBass powered subwoofer models, the SR314, SR617 and SRV102.
"Car audio customers often desire strong bass, but this is usually difficult to achieve without large, high power subwoofers," said Isao Masaki, manager Product Planning Dept., Sales & Marketing Division, Clarion. "MaxxBass is unique in that it allows us to achieve power bass levels without large enclosures. It is ideal for space limited car applications."
"Waves MaxxBass is being adopted in an increasingly wide range of applications from iPod speakers to LCD TVs to PCs, and now with Clarion's support, powered automotive subwoofers," said Paul Bundschuh, vice president sales & marketing, Waves Semiconductor Division. "Waves is pleased to assist Clarion in creating such innovative automotive audio products."
Not a Bass Boost Technology
MaxxBass is not a bass boost technology. Instead it uses a Waves-patented psycho-acoustic algorithm, which extends perceived bass response by up to 1.5 octaves. By enabling small speakers to deliver full range sound, Waves is improving the performance for a wide variety of consumer electronics products, including portable loudspeakers, car audio, LCD TVs, computers and home theater systems.
