"In the past it was difficult to create a realistic surround environment from a mono or stereo source in a short period of time," says Schtung Senior Engineer Jim Watson. "Now however, with this new technology, we can do exactly that. We can take a mono or stereo source and create a convincing 5.1 (or 6.1) surround track without hours and hours of studio time." This will provide a great opportunity for film libraries, back catalogs, and owners of older television shows in that it gives them the tools to meet the consumer's expectations, which is a 5.1. (6.1) DVD. We are able to make older audio content come alive with the same dynamic and powerful surround experience as contemporary multi-channel surround mixes - and at a competitive price point.

The Mono to 5.1 Surround Demo is available through studio manager Susanna at 310-828-5189.
