Windows users love it: The Windows Media® Player is an impor- tant tool for playing back music or video programming on the PC. You can now make this program even more powerful, simply by downloading a plug-in from AKG that provides 3-D sound through conventional headphones without expensive peripherals or com- plicated modifications.

The secret behind this miracle are two technologies that are also used in the famous wireless surround headphone systems of the HEARO Family. IVA processing developed by AKG provides a sound that does not play inside the head as it would with normal headphone reproduction, but actually seems to come from loud- speakers placed in your listening room.

The LOGIC7 decoder automatically identifies the input signal for- mat, monitors it constantly, and simulates up to eight loud- speakers distributed around the room. It generates the 3-D sound from almost every input signal format from stereo to the latest surround standard.

To avoid overburdening your PC with its need for processing power, the IVA surround processing level can be adjusted auto- matically or manually. Selectable presets such as MOVIE and JAZZ provide typical timbres for a more realistic sound.

The Hearo Player is a real bargain for those who are looking for a way to enjoy surround sound from their PC at home or notebook computer when traveling but do not want to invest in extra hard- ware or throw away their favorite headphones.
