Why is Dolby Virtual Speaker technology better than other virtualization techniques?
Older virtual speaker technologies deliver only a fraction of the crucial sonic cues necessary to reproduce a 5.1-channel listening environment. In fact, most other solutions are simply “sound sweeteners.” While their surround effects can seem dramatic when switched on and off, they’re not nearly as precise as Dolby Virtual Speaker. Dolby Virtual Speaker technology is advanced enough to convey the complex sonic cues necessary to provide a convincing illusion of a precisely placed 5.1 surround speaker system. This enables the listener to hear a multichannel soundtrack the way its producers intended it to be heard.
