Does anybody know how the Windows Media Player's WOW effect works? I
use Monsoon flat panel (ribbon) speakers with my computer, they have
pretty good imaging. When I turn on the WOW effect, the effect is no
less than amazing. Though my speakers sit about 2 feet apart, suddenly
I hear things coming from a soundstage at least three times as wide
(and taller).

How do they do this?

Probably cross-talk out of phase in a certain frequency range.


I listened to the "WOW" effect here and as near as I can tell they detect
the out of phase information, raise its level and eq it a bit.

I haven't decided if I like the effect or not.

The demo version of the SRS plugin for WMP has adjustments for height.
