LAS VEGAS, NV -- Jan. 6, 2005 -- Xitel(TM) Pty Ltd., a worldwide leading provider of digital audio technology, announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today the release of SOUNDaround(TM), a high quality audio solution that gives users a complete home theater-like experience without the need for expensive equipment or complex installation. Xitel’s new system is simple, easy-to-use, and works through two normal speakers, yet provides users with a complete, vibrant and rich cinema experience.

While surround sound systems can sound fabulous, to achieve a satisfactory experience costs a lot of money and requires a precise installation by professionals. If a speaker is placed wrongly or is not appropriate for the task, the results can be very disappointing.

“Many audio companies want you to believe the only way to create realistic home theater sound is to fill your room with expensive speakers,” said Barrie Davis, CEO and Founder of Xitel. “There is a lot more work in getting a multi-speaker system right than most people really appreciate; it’s clearly not as simple as pulling a few components out of a box and plugging them in. We’re thrilled to introduce SOUNDaround to the market, which allows consumers to achieve an outstanding high-quality home theater experience from their DVD movies and games, using their existing equipment. With SOUNDaround there’s no reason to thrown away your perfectly good stereo - for less than $100 you can turn it into an awesome home theater without having to spend lots of money on messy cables, multiple speakers, or expensive surround sound amplifiers.”

Xitel’s SOUNDaround is based on advanced principles of psychoacoustics, the scientific method of mapping how the brain processes what your ears hear. Using complex mathematical calculations, the SOUNDaround stimulates you into believing sounds are coming from everywhere in a room, using just two ordinary speakers. Quickly and affordably, users can now convert their existing two-speaker hi-fi system, stereo TV, or even headphones into a home theater experience in a few simple steps.
