DTS Virtual:X is an audio codec designed to give sound the sense of multi-dimensional space, or of sound moving around you in an environment. Used in both movie theaters and home theater systems, DTS Virtual:X may sound complicated, but can be thought of as making a few speakers sound like a lot of speakers.
DTS® Virtual:X for Soundbars
One intimidating thing about the home theater experience is the number of surround sound formats. Unfortunately, what most surround sound formats have in common is that they require a lot of speakers.
However, with the popularity of soundbars and headphone listening, there is a growing demand for a surround sound experience without additional speakers. DTS has taken on this task with the development and implementation of DTS Virtual:X.
DTS Virtual:X builds on the existing surround sound formats DTS:X and DTS Neural:X, providing an even more immersive listening experience without the need for additional speakers.
