QSound Labs, Inc.

Description

QSound Labs, Inc. was founded in 1988, and has become a prominent supplier of 3D audio solutions for the Internet, PC/Multimedia, Consumer Electronics and Mobile Device marketplaces. Its comprehensive portfolio of analog and digital audio solutions, are not only recognized for their quality and reliability, but for their broad and loyal distribution channels, enviable partnerships and solid brand recognition.In the early 1980's the Company began experimenting with multiple microphones, discovering that sound could be made to appear to come from different directions, similar to the way in which the human ear detects sound. Breaking away from analog-based sound analysis, it approached 3D audio from the new perspective of digital analysis. More than 550,000 listening tests were administered to amass data on the way the human ear hears directional sound when reproduced electronically. Applying in-house analytical tools, the Company produced averaged results that led to algorithms effective for virtually any listener.By focusing on the human perception of sound location as presented through stereo speakers, QSound delivered a technological coup - the world's most natural sounding, effective and efficient positional 3D audio algorithms for stereo speakers.
