TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--
DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSI) announces a partnership with ASUSTeK Computer Inc., the
leader in the personal computer industry, bringing to market - for the first
time ever -- enthusiast and mainstream retail motherboards featuring DTS
Surround Sensation UltraPC. It`s available to the public worldwide. According to
ASUSTeK the P5Q Turbo and the latest M4 Series are fine examples of ASUS®
motherboards that are adopting these technologies and are just the start of many
motherboards to come that will provide users with astounding sound clarity. 

"Millions of people around the globe will now have access to the highest quality
surround sound experience even when listening on two channel stereo headphones
or speakers," said David H. Tan, Vice President Product Management and North
America Licensing, DTS, Inc. "We are pleased to be partners with such a forward
looking company as ASUSTeK, which understands that consumers want the ultimate
entertainment experience from their computing products." 

DTS SURROUND SENSATION ULTRAPC: MULTI CHANNEL SOUND FROM TWO SPEAKERS OR
HEADPHONES

DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC uses advanced post-processing technology to
deliver an incredible surround effect from just two speakers or headphones. The
post-processing contains significant psycho-acoustic information that alters
human perception, making one believe that sounds are actually occurring outside
the boundaries of the two-speaker system or headphones. Developed with a key
understanding of acoustics and years of knowledge in dealing with the properties
of sound, DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC creates a three-dimensional wall of
sound that exceeds the limitations of just two speakers for an optimal surround
sound experience. DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC also supplements the weakened
stereo image and ambience of digitally compressed audio, while keeping the
monaural components (such as solo vocals) unchanged.
