"SRS Labs is excited about DISH Network's decision to add TruVolume to the impressive list of features offered in their set-top-boxes. The operator segment is ideal for powerful and compelling solutions such as TruVolume, and it's very encouraging that DISH has recognized the subscriber benefit this technology offers in terms of leveling the volume of broadcast TV," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing at SRS Labs. "TruVolume was created to address a significant growing concern among television viewers, and now DISH Network viewers can rest assured that they will never again be blasted out of their seats by loud commercial breaks."

SRS TruVolume is a powerful solution that utilizes advanced, patent pending technology proprietary to SRS Labs to provide listeners with a consistently comfortable volume level, thus enabling a more enjoyable entertainment experience. TruVolume incorporates advanced multi-band analysis that simulates how people perceive volume shifts, as well as discrimination technology that identifies appropriate points for action. As a result, TruVolume eliminates annoying side effects that plagued previous volume leveling solutions, operating unobtrusively and effectively. Listeners simply set the volume to their preferred listening level, sit back and relax.

In a recent MarketTools(TM) third party survey, nine out of 10 TV viewers in North America had noticed volume fluctuations when watching television, and 89 percent of them indicated that they find the volume fluctuations annoying. Several other recent studies have confirmed that annoying volume fluctuations are universally noticed and disdain by TV viewers worldwide.

TruVolume technology will be rolled out to DISH Network set-top boxes early this year.
