CALABASAS, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
DTS,
a global leader in high-definition audio solutions and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Xperi
Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (“Xperi”), is pleased to announce its
collaboration with Sound United to integrate DTS Virtual:X®
technology in A/V receivers for the first time. Select Denon and Marantz
A/V receivers are now able to receive a DTS Virtual:X firmware update to
provide consumers with rich, immersive sound in their home theaters
without the need for height or rear speakers.
“We are excited to partner with the Denon and Marantz brands to
integrate DTS Virtual:X technology in A/V receivers for the first time,”
said Joanna Skrdlant, general manager, home audio at Xperi. “DTS
Virtual:X technology provides consumers an immersive sound experience
even if they only attach stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 speakers to their A/V
receivers. Our partnership with these legendary brands reinforces our
continued commitment to deliver consumers premium sound in the comfort
of their home.”
DTS’ research shows that, for a variety of reasons, fewer than 30
percent of consumers who purchase multichannel A/V receivers actually
connect the height speakers and fewer than 48 percent of consumers
connect the rear surround speakers. DTS Virtual:X technology in an A/V
receiver gives consumers an unparalleled sound experience without the
need for additional speakers while still allowing consumers to upgrade
for an even better immersive sound experience when they’re able to add
additional speakers to their system.
“We are proud to announce that our customers will now be able to update
select A/V receivers to incorporate DTS Virtual:X technology,” said
Richard Velazquez, global head of brand for Denon. “It proves our
constant mission to offer brand new technologies to existing products,
adding value for our trusted customers.”
The DTS Virtual:X firmware update is now available in exclusive Denon
and Marantz A/V receivers, including the Denon AVR-S730H (US only),
Denon AVR-S930H (US only), Denon AVR-X1400H, Denon AVR-X2400H, Denon
AVR-X3400H, Marantz NR1608 and Marantz SR5012 and will expand to
additional Denon DTS:X models in January 2018 and additional Marantz
DTS:X models in February 2018.
DTS Virtual:X technology supports any input source from stereo to a
7.1.4 layout (11.1 channels) and plays back an immersive experience over
speaker layouts from 2.0 stereo up to 5.1 and even 7.1. DTS Virtual:X
has been designed to work with all DTS codecs, including the flagship
DTS:X. For legacy content, an efficient upmixer is included to provide a
natural, immersive experience. The flexibility of its architecture
enables product manufacturers to utilize one or more features
concurrently, including Virtual Height and Virtual Surround.
