Intersil’s New D2Audio® WIDESound x 4™ Enhancement Brings Full, Rich Surround-Sound Listening Experience to Flat Panel TVs and other Space-Constrained Products
Latest D2Audio Technology Creates Simulated Home Theatre Experience Using an Array of Front-Mounted Speakers
Company to Demonstrate Technology at CES, South Hall 1, Booth 21422
Milpitas, CA and CES International, LAS VEGAS, NV—Jan. 7, 2010— Intersil
Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL),
a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog
and mixed-signal semiconductors, has introduced WIDESound
x 4™ audio enhancement technology that is ideal for use where
it is not possible to employ large or surround loudspeakers.
Today’s thin flat panel TVs and other leading-edge consumer products
are simply not large enough for designers to employ traditional large multi-speaker
systems. Yet consumers still demand full, rich audio quality, as well as sleek,
attractive product design.
WIDESound x 4 is a multi-channel soundbar simulated “virtualization” effect
that greatly enhances audio capabilities in flat panel TVs or other applications
where full sized speakers are impractical. WIDESound x 4 utilizes the
full power of a true digital signal processing (DSP) system with enhanced
control of the simulated loudspeaker system. Variations of the WIDESound
x 4 technology allow for soundbar implementations of two, four or six loudspeaker
systems for a completely scalable architecture.
For designers of consumer electronics, Intersil’s WIDESound x 4 offers
access to key control parameters that enable them to customize and optimize
the simulated home theatre effect. Implementation of 2-channel, 4-channel
and 6-channel soundbars is possible through simple control of the available
parameters in the audio processing block.
