3-D sound for PlayStation2


A start-up developed these twin speakers to do the job of a five-speaker system.

A start-up company founded by some professors at Tokyo Denki University has developed three-dimensional acoustic speakers for use with the PlayStation2 game console from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

Dimagic Co., which was set up in June by Professor Haruo Hamada and colleagues, says it will enlist I-O Data Device Inc. and Creative Technology Ltd. of Singapore to manufacture and market the new speakers from March.

DiMAX, a speaker system with a built-in amplifier, employs just two speakers, but the developers claim it produces sound comparable to that created by five speakers.

The PlayStation2 console, expected to reach the Japanese market next March, will come with a digital-versatile-disc player designed for a five-speaker system. The new system will be much lower-priced and take up less space than a five-speaker system, the developers said. The price is projected at around 20,000 yen.
