San Francisco and Uppsala, Sweden– May 16, 2012 OPPO today announces the launch of mobile phones promising the best in mobile sound quality. Superior sound quality has been obtained through the use of innovative sound processing developed by Swedish sound technology specialists Dirac Research.
The technology used - Dirac HD Sound®- improves all acoustic
properties of the earphones shipped with the new mobile phones for
the best possible mobile music experience. Precise acoustic
measurements of the earphone have allowed a tailored digital sound
processor to control the acoustic properties of the earphone. The
aim is better music reproduction than can be obtained even with
expensive studio headphones. Technologies from Dirac have been used
in high-performance HiFi, luxury cars, digital cinemas and studios.
The OPPO launch marks the world premiere of this type of advanced
sound processing in mobile phones.
Rather than the generic sound effects that are common in the
market today, Dirac HD Sound actually performs a genuine
improvement of the earphone. The result is a clear and natural
sound for music playback, a philosophy that OPPO has
embraced.
"OPPO is known for emphasizing quality in their products and we
are very pleased to be part of their mission to attain a mobile
high fidelity experience for their customers," says Dr. Mathias
Johansson, CEO of Dirac.
Mr. Ken Kreisel, one of the founders of M&K Speaker, known
for high-end studio monitor speaker systems, listened to the sound
of OPPO mobile phone using an earphone. He stated: "While listening
to the new OPPO Mobile Phone with Dirac HD Sound, the sound
improvement is tremendous and I feel almost like I am in the
recording studio with my new studio monitors. I applaud OPPO for
their innovative and pioneering spirit in embracing this new Dirac
HD Sound Technology."
