What is the WOW Thing?
The WOW Thing™ is an
audio enhancement processor based on
patented technology. WOW™
from SRS Labs is the next generation of 3D
audio technology. WOW™ provides the
ultimate listening experience from any two
speakers regardless of their size, by
creating an image that extends beyond the
speakers themselves. Turn on WOW™ and
your speakers instantly become
dramatically taller and wider.
The WOW™ Thing also includes
TruBass™, another patented
technology from SRS Labs, Inc. Based on
psychoaccoustics, TruBass was designed to
accurately reproduce the bass tones from a
stereo recording and create the perception
of deep and rich bass tones even if the
speakers themselves can not physically
reproduce them.
