SBX Pro Studio includes a number of enhancements for movies and gaming, elevating your movie and gaming experience to the next level. These include:

•SBX Surround - provides immersion control to enhance the natural sense of audio depth and spaciousness by creating virtual surround sound channels. Stereo content or multi-channel content will sound as if its coming from all sides while voices remain centered in front and original balance and timbre is preserved.

•SBX Crystalizer - restores the natural dynamic range that is lost when music files (iTunes and MP3) gets compressed. This makes the music sound as good as the artist originally intended, and adds an enhanced level of realism for movies and games.

•SBX Bass - fills in the missing low frequency tones and gives the extra impact for a better enter- tainment experience. Consumers no longer have to tolerate a lack of bass in speakers as the SBX Bass technology dramatically improves the sound experience even in the absence of a subwoofer.

•SBX Smart Volume - addresses the problem of abrupt volume level changes during playback and between songs by continously measuring volume automatically, applying gain and attenuation intel- ligently to compensate for any changes.

•SBX Noise Reduction - enhances the voices in movies for clearer dialog, allowing the listener to hear the dialog over the rest of the soundtrack and over ambient noise in the listening environment.

You can import/export your current SBX Pro Studio settings to/from the device. Please refer to Importing / Exporting Device Settings for details.
