LG, the world's fourth largest mobile phone distributor, has announced they have signed a deal with Dolby which will allow for Dolby Mobile surround sound technology to be added to upcoming handsets.
The idea behind the deal is to give LG users improved sound quality for their music files and video files and follows in the trend of phones moving towards full fledged multimedia devices.
According to the Washington Post, the service features: "Mobile Surround, which delivers a realistic surround sound experience using headphones-- Sound Space Expander, which creates a wide, rich, and spacious soundstage experience especially suited to music playback-- Natural Bass, which adds powerful boost and bass extension-- High-Frequency Enhancer, which enhances music and other content by restoring high-frequency effects-- Graphic EQ, which helps tune the audio experience for different content types-- Sound Level Control, which helps level out audio for a more consistent playback volume-- Mono-to-Stereo Converter, which improves the playback experience of user-generated content."
The phone maker is the first to include "Dolby Mobile" in its phones however analysts believe the technology was mostly created by Coding Technologies which was acquired by Dolby last year. Coding Technologies already had customers for its surround audio technology, including the world's largest cell phone maker, Nokia.
