The perfect listening room... Many have experienced the difficulty
to realize a listening environment free of standing waves, undesirable
reflections, the perfect reverb time, perfect loudspeaker placement with
a flat frequency response, and without any disturbance for others.
With Isone pro, a virtual listening room can now be experienced simply
using a high-quality headphones. Allowing for full control over loudspeaker
type, loudspeaker distance, and room reverb time, the
listening room can be fully customized.

Smash Pro provides extensive control to create a fat and warm sound. Compression, harmonic excitation and equalization processes can be carefully controlled as a function of frequency by simply drawing (discretized) frequency curves.
Smash Pro is based on an innovative signal decomposition that allows extremely accurate analysis and modification of audio signals. During processing, the input signals are up to 40 times oversampled to allow detailed simulation of non-linear processes. This results in a very distinct and unique sound character.

MPEG Surround, an extension of Spatial Audio Coding technology towards multi-channel audio has recently been finalized. Find out more on the MPEG Surround standard here.
Parametric Stereo
is a technique for an extremely bit-efficient representation of stereo audio signals,
developed at Philips
in cooperation with
Coding Technologies. It employs Spatial Audio Coding (SAC) techniques to provide
unsurpassed compression efficiency. It is currently standardized as part of aacPlus v2 in
MPEG-4
and the next generation standard for mobile communication, 3GPP.
