Only pricey high-end THX or Dolby components provide as much clarity and quality as this unit does." -Game Players-Nintendo/Sega, September 1994 "New audio technology redefines sound as we know it... This system is an improvement over stereo as stereo was over mono!" -Electronic Gaming Monthly, May 1994 "For once, here's a gadget that does what it says. You want sound enhancement for all formats? Here it is." -Axcess magazine, July 1994 "The Vivid 3D can make a normal two speaker set-up sound like one of those home theater audio systems with multiple speakers!" -Game Informer, July/August, 1994 "97/100! The Vivid 3D is one of the best applications of an emerging technology that I have ever seen. Old games took on new life." -Computer Game Review, August 1994 "NuReality's Vivid 3D sound system packs a big bang in a small box... Treble sounds clearer, bass fuller, and audio effects -- even monophonic effects -- more realistic." -Computer Shopper, September 1994 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The goal of every sound technology is to accurately reproduce an original performance and give the listener the feeling of "being there." This goal led to the development of stereo technology almost 60 years ago. This goal also inspired the creation of the Sound Retrieval System(R) (SRS) technology, a unique audio technology that adds a new dimension of realism to traditional stereo processing. After millions of research dollars and over ten years of development, audio scientist Arnold Klayman completed the SRS technology at Hughes Aircraft Corporation. Since 1988, this innovative technology has been awarded four international patents with over 240 claims in 11 countries, and has been licensed by companies such as Sony Corporation, RCA and Nakamichi. Now through NuReality, the power of SRS 3D sound technology can be conveniently and inexpensively brought into your home with the award-winning family of Vivid 3D(tm) sound enhancement products. THE PRINCIPLE OF 3D SOUND Consider the feeling of a live performance. This feeling of being immersed in sound comes from a combination of "direct" and "indirect" sound information. Indirect sound waves convey subtle ambience information such as the size of a room and the location of various sounds to our ears. Microphones, which are much less complex than the human hearing system, are simply incapable of properly registering this indirect sound information. By restoring the proper balance of direct and indirect sound information, SRS processing recreates the "live" feeling of the original performance. SRS technology also eliminates the "sweet spot" associated with traditional stereo systems. This means that speakers disappear as point sources of audio information and you hear 3D sound from any location in a room. Using these principles, SRS produces realistic three dimensional sound from only two speakers. In addition, SRS processing further enhances surround sound technologies, such as Dolby Pro Logic(R), and encoded sound material, such as QSound. Stereo processing creates flat, "two dimensional" sound, whereas SRS processing fills an entire room with lifelike, "three dimensional" sound.
