aDTS technology takes audio to exciting new places, engaging listenersa™ emotions and elevating their experiences,a said Stocco. aWith this new signature, I harvested sounds from seemingly random household objects like milk, lentils and water balloons and transformed them into sonically powerful instruments. The result is a distinct sound signature that undoubtedly showcases the power of great audio and truly encapsulates the essence of the DTS brand.a

aAt DTS, wea™re committed to developing superior sound technologies that make life experiences more emotional and enjoyable for consumers. Diegoa™s incredible ability to create sounds from entirely unexpected organic materials is simply stunning and representative of the immersive and high-quality audio DTS stands for,a noted Alan Cohen, vice president of marketing at DTS, Inc.

"The Intel Storage Solutions Theater offers NAB attendees the opportunity to experience the benefits of our processors first-hand," said David Tuhy, general manager at Intel Corporation. "The DTS demonstration uses dozens of discrete tracks which tax a computera™s processor. Wea™re delighted to have DTS on hand to illustrate how Intela™s energy efficient performance and data protection technologies thrive in this environment, giving us the ability to serve the worlda™s most demanding and data-intensive storage environments.a
