Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd., a worldwide leader in game development audio products, has taken a giant leap forward by announcing the integration of DTS Neural Surround™ technology into their FMOD™ Sound System products. DTS Neural Surround™ is able to provide rich, fully immersive 7.1 channel surround sound over a 5.1 or 2.0 signal. This is the first middleware product on the market to include DTS Neural Surround support across multiple platforms including PC and next-gen consoles.

“FMOD products support more hardware platforms than any other audio system, plus they have a reputation for creating high quality products that are easy to use and incredibly powerful,” says Mark Tuffy, Director of Business Development, Interactive Media at DTS. “By incorporating DTS Neural Surround, there is simply no question that FMOD offers the best audio creation and playback software out there.”

The support of DTS Neural Surround within FMOD makes it easy for game developers to integrate the technology within their titles. FMOD has worked to make the process intuitive for customers with a simple initialization flag for the application of DTS Neural Surround. Developers can then provide a consistent 7.1 audio experience across all platforms, even for audio connections like S/PDIF, which cannot traditionally support 7.1.

“We’re pleased to include DTS Neural Surround in our new version of FMOD," says Brett Paterson, CEO of Firelight Technologies. “This is yet another way FMOD can raise the gamers audio experience above and beyond the next level, and at no extra cost to the consumer. By combining DTS’ advanced technology with FMOD’s powerful DSP network architecture, we can now offer the finest audio experience possible.”
