GEC NEWS WIREDolby brings premium surround sound to the mobile entertainment experience
Dolby Laboratories announced that Dolby Surround technology has been incorporated in the new Samsung GALAXY Tab 3 series 8- and 10.1-inch tablets. Dolby Surround dramatically enhances audio quality, delivering dynamic sound, crystal-clear dialogue, and consistent volume levels for users of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 3.
“We are pleased to offer the latest Dolby innovations for tablets in the Samsung GALAXY Tab 3 8-and 10.1-inch,” said John Couling, Senior Vice President, E-Media Business Group, Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby technologies expand the possibilities of mobile entertainment, allowing people to enjoy a richer audio experience on the go.”
Dolby Surround technology accentuates the dialogue in movies and other media content, making it easier for the user to hear. Dolby’s volume-leveling technology maintains a consistent sound level across all content so the user does not need to readjust the volume for each new application. A device with Dolby Surround easily connects to a home theater system for a surround sound experience on up to 7.1-channel speakers. Custom tuning minimizes mechanical and acoustic distortion for a more natural, balanced sound with more bass and treble.
Recent research conducted by Parks Associates in the United States, France, Germany, China, and South Korea concluded that sound quality is an essential element for mobile consumers as they watch movies and TV shows. Audio quality on tablets and smartphones is a purchase consideration for more than 70 percent of smartphone owners in these countries. “More than ever, consumers are spending more time watching content on their mobile devices,” said John Barrett, Research Director, Parks Associates. “Sound quality is important to them—especially those watching full-length movies and TV shows.”
