Hughes SRS/SRS Labs

[Rich.Andrews]

I was doing some research and was curious about the SRS Labs (formerly known
as Hughes SRS) Sound Retrieval System. Has anyone used or is using the SRS
technology from Hughes/SRS Labs? How prevelent is this technology in the pro
audio area?

Thanks

It's a neat gadget that basically expands the stereo width artificially.
It's useful for consumer stereo systems and TV receivers where the speakers
cannot be mounted properly.

It's basically an attempt to simulate proper speaker placement while mounting
the speakers close to one another, and it's fairly effective although not
anywhere near as effective as proper system setup.

I don't know of any professional applications for it other than for broadcast,
and it is definitely not very useful for stretching a poorly-made recording
that is collapsed to the center. But it does what the manufacturers claim
pretty well.
