SRS Audio Essentials

Not every medium of sound is made equally. For this reason, SRS Audio Essentials provides users with presets for different types of content and playback devices to get the best possible sound quality out of your media. You can choose the content mode (music, movies or games) and the output device (laptop speakers, desktop speakers or headphones) that corresponds to your setup. An Advanced panel in the interface allows the individual effects to be adjusted manually. SRS Labs was acquired by DTS in 2012, and Audio Essentials is no longer developed or sold.

Features:

• The program sits in a compact window styled like a stereo receiver, with a power button, mode selectors and an Advanced panel
• Built-in SRS TruSurround HD setting that creates virtual surround sound over two speakers on almost any video played
• Improves gameplay in video games with a dedicated game mode for sharper sound effects
• Has TruVolume integrated into it (paid version), essentially automatically adjusting the volume of the sound when it detects it to be too loud or too quiet, eliminating any bothersome fluctuations
• TruBass enhances the low frequencies for solid, deep bass, while Definition adds clarity to the high frequencies
• Compatible with the majority of mainstream media players and can launch together with them
• When listening to music with a voice singing, the lyrics are more discernible and clear thanks to the Focus and dialog clarity enhancements
• SRS Circle Surround Headphone (CS Headphone) delivers virtual surround sound for movies when you listen on headphones
• Available as a free package with basic effects and as a paid Complete package that adds TruVolume and 5.1 speaker support; a license key unlocks the upgrade

It adds depth, bass and clarity to PC audio and creates virtual surround sound over ordinary stereo speakers or headphones.
