SRS Labs Debuts Advanced Virtual Surround Technology For Flat Panel Television At CES 2007

New Technology Surrounds Listeners with Sound, Not Speakers

January 12, 2007

SRS Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SRSL), a leading provider of surround sound, audio and voice technologies, today announced the launch of SRS TruSurround HD4™ (TS HD4), the next generation surround enhancement technology for flat panel televisions. TS HD4 delivers virtual surround sound from front-positioned speaker drivers ranging from 4.0 to 5.1 output channels. SRS Labs' new discrete surround from the front technology is perfect for flat panel TVs, speaker array configurations and speaker bar accessories. SRS TruSurround HD4 is the latest addition to the SRS TruSurround® family of technologies which includes TruSurround, TruSurround XT® and TruSurround HD™. This family of IP represents the industry's most widely used virtual surround technology, having been implemented in tens of millions of tvs worldwide from manufacturers such as Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba. Building on the success of it predecessors, TS HD4 accepts input from 1.0 to 6.1 channels and renders surround sound from the front of the listener utilizing 4.0 to 5.1 horizontal or vertical speaker driver configurations. Listeners will feel as if they are surrounded by "phantom" speakers that appear to extend all around them, producing a distinctly immersive surround sound field without the clutter of extra speakers. TS HD4 provides detail to high frequency content and offers the ability to adjust the mix of center information with respect to the ambient stereo sound, so vocals are brightened and brought to center stage. In addition to improving dialog intelligibility and creating maximum bass response, TS HD4 provides bass management for an optional LFE output and provides high-frequency clarity for optional center channel. Implementing SRS TruSurround HD4 in LCD TVs and speaker arrays will bring new life to the growing amount of readily available surround content via HDTV, blu ray and HD DVD. "TruSurround HD4 builds on the incredible success we have had with the SRS TruSurround family of technologies," said Tom Yuen, president and CEO, SRS Labs. "The flat panel TV market is quickly adopting the trend to include multiple drivers from the front and this next generation technology includes expanded features and flexibility to offer maximum differentiation and superior surround sound to television manufacturers worldwide." With the introduction of SRS TruSurround HD4, the SRS TruSurround family offers TV manufacturers a solid, well known set of scalable technologies to implement across their entire line of products, bringing the audio quality to the level of picture quality. TS HD4 is available for immediate implementation on platforms from Cirrus Logic, D2Audio, Micronas, and NJRC. SRS Labs will be demonstrating SRS TruSurround HD4 at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 8 11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, room N210. About SRS Labs, Inc.
