What is Dolby Virtual Speaker?

In a battle scene from your favorite sci-fi movie, the action is all around you. When the enemy creeps up from behind in a video game, you look over your shoulder before he strikes. Listening to music, you're right there on stage with the performers, or surrounded by the audience at a live concert event.

Are these sensations being produced by a complicated home theater system with speakers all around you? No, they're coming from a PC, TV set, or DVD player with Dolby Virtual Speaker technology playing over just two speakers.

That's right: with Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, as few as two speakers, placed in front of you in a typical stereo setup, actually sound like the five separate speakers in a full-bore home theater system. You can enjoy DVD movies with all the exciting effects intended by their directors and sound mixers. Gaming takes on a thrilling new third dimension. Even with stereo music, CDs, MP3 files, and TV shows you'll hear convincing, realistic surround sound.

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology is a next-generation process that reproduces the complex sonic cues necessary to locate precisely where sounds are coming from. Previous virtual technologies communicated only a portion of these critical cues. But Dolby Virtual Speaker technology has the power to convince your ears that you are literally surrounded by sonic activity!

At home, on the go, or at your desk, whenever a multispeaker playback system is unavailable or inappropriate, Dolby Virtual Speaker is your ticket to a rich, involving, true-to-life surround sound experience.

DVS technology enables true-to-life 5.1 surround sound from both multichannel and stereo programs over as few as two speakers, allowing multichannel programs to be heard as their producers intended. Its uniquely powerful, next- generation signal processing convincingly portrays the sound of properly placed surround speakers, making it ideal for use in PCs, DVD players, and TV sets. As a result, all viewing, listening, and gaming activities are transformed into realistic surround-sound experiences without the added expense and complexity of a traditional surround system.
