SANTA ANA, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs (Nasdaq: SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio, and voice technologies, announced today a brand-new addition to its line of consumer products called SRS HD Audio Lab™ (HAL).

HD Audio Lab optimizes the way sound is processed through PCs. HAL utilizes an intuitive graphical user interface and an advanced control panel, making it easy for users to adjust and customize the audio settings to their listening preference. Taking into account different playback environments, HAL is also compatible with any speaker configuration – headphones, laptop and desktop speakers, up to 7.1 systems.

"SRS HD Audio Labs was designed principally based on the fact that entertainment has become an integral part of the overall PC experience," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "Gone are the days when the primary use of PCs was data crunching or word processing. Today, consumers regularly use the PC as their own personal jukebox and enjoy movies and other video/audio content from many sources streamed or downloaded online. Our all-new HD Audio Lab gives consumers the ability to completely customize and fine tune the sound settings for all their content, enabling them to experience remarkably more natural and higher quality audio with restored depth and clarity – the way the artist intended it to sound."

Audio purists, gamers and movie buffs alike will love how HAL restores clarity to vocals, detail to high frequency notes and overall fidelity to digital music, while at the same time improving speaker bass response and enhancing the overall quality of the audio. The end result corresponds to content sounding significantly more natural and notably closer to the original recording, making the overall entertainment experience more compelling and far more immersive.

The SRS HD Audio Lab is engineered to take advantage of the surround content regardless of the speaker arrangement and ensures that sound quality is not diminished by the physical limits of speakers or low-quality sound cards. For users that have a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound configuration, HAL uses the built-in passive matrix surround sound decoder to create true multichannel surround sound from any audio source, including stereo and mono. Conversely, in addition to their audio sounding more dynamic and robust, users of stereo speaker systems and headphones will find themselves far more involved and immersed in their music, videos and games thanks to embedded surround sound technologies.

The all new HAL is available now as a download that will work with every major PC media player. Users can experience the remarkable difference HAL will bring to their content via a free, fully functional 30-day trial version at www.srslabs.com/store. The MSRP for SRS HD Audio Lab is $29.99 for download and $39.99 for box copies. Box copies will be available at various retailers nationwide soon.
