B: SPATIALIZER AUDIO LABORATORIES INC - Hitachi DVD Players Incorporate
Industry Leading Spatializer
New York, New York, Sep. 20, 2000 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) --
Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. announced that Hitachi, Ltd. has included
Spatializer N-2-2(TM) Virtual Surround Sound across its entire DVD Player
line-up. Models DV-P250, DV-P305 and DV-W1 have already established themselves
among the top DVD Players in the global market since their introduction earlier
this year. Two additional models, the DV-P705 and DV-C605 will be introduced
early next year.
Spatializer N-2-2 delivers an astonishing virtual surround sound experience from
just two speakers, instead of the five speakers normally required. The
combination of cost, space requirements and the complexity of set-up often makes
it difficult for consumers to justify a full five speaker plus subwoofer
playback system. By utilizing a series of proprietary real-time algorithms,
spatial cues are created that convince the listener's ear and brain that a sound
is coming from a location other than the speaker. The result is an audio
experience, which retains the spatial realism of the full home theater set-up
without the expense and complication.
"Our latest design win for the entire Hitachi DVD Player line steps up the pace
in our drive to be the de facto standard in virtual audio enhancement
technology," said Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. "We are pleased to expand our long standing
relationship with Hitachi, Ltd. which is highly respected around the world for
its superb quality and innovation. Hitachi DVD Players have quickly made a
strong impact in the market and we look forward to working with them to provide
their customers with the ultimate in audio enhancement solutions."
"We are most enthusiastic about the launch of our two new DVD Players to join
our extended series of digital home entertainment products. We are pleased to
have Spatializer N-2-2 providing an exciting virtual surround sound solution for
our customers. This technology provides a very realistic and immersive listening
experience for those without extensive multiple speaker configurations," said
Mr. Hiroshi Shibata, Group Manager, Video of Hitachi America, Ltd.
