Nowadays, by using your DVD player, you can easily enjoy multi-channel soundtracks for movies and music in the comfort of your living room or at your computer. However most televisions and computer playback systems have only two speakers.
TruSurround XT™ bridges this gap processing any multi-channel audio source and transforms the material into breathtaking virtual surround sound from just two speakers or through your headphones.

SRS® TruSurround XT™ sound technology
TruSurround technology lets you take advantage of any multichannel format, such as Dolby Surround, Digital 5.1, Dolby Pro Logic, or DTS, without needing to add extra speakers or equipment. TruSurround "virtually" places the individual audio channels where they are supposed to be, as though you had speakers all around you.
