Dolby Mobile Details

The Best Entertainment Experience on the Go

No-Compromise Performance

There's no doubt that phones are getting smarter. You can now listen to music, watch movies, and surf the Web on them—all things that would have qualified as science fiction just a decade ago. Yet the entertainment experience that even the smartest mobile phones deliver could be improved. One area is audio performance. We've come to expect cinema-quality sound in our living rooms and front-row audio intensity at concerts, but we're willing to accept less from our phones in the name of portability and convenience.

Dolby® Mobile puts an end to such compromises. Now, thanks to the enhancements that Dolby Mobile brings to handheld devices, you don't have to sacrifice audio quality when you watch movies or listen to music on the go. Dolby Mobile delivers clear, rich, full-range audio—even surround sound—to mobile phones and personal media players, so wherever you take your entertainment, you can be assured that you're hearing it the way it was meant to be heard.

Cinematic Sound Anywhere

Surround sound is an integral part of movies today. Many TV shows also feature surround mixes. While that's great if you're sitting in a cinema or home theater, you're missing out if, say, you're on the subway and watching on your mobile phone—unless your phone has Dolby Mobile.

Dolby pioneered surround sound in the cinema and then the home theater. That same engineering experience and expertise went into Dolby Mobile, which brings cinematic surround sound to mobile devices. So the directional cues and sound effects that bring a scene to life—the explosion in the distance, the car racing past, the creaking of a door offscreen—remain in place, making for a more compelling, enveloping experience.

The Full Range of Sound

Surround sound is only one way that Dolby Mobile improves entertainment on the go. If you've ever watched a favorite movie or listened to a favorite song on your mobile phone, you know that these devices sometimes struggle to deliver the full audio spectrum through their headphones or built-in speakers. Sounds at the low end can be weak, and higher frequencies can suffer, too. As a result, that favorite movie or song can lose some of its appeal.

Dolby Mobile helps low frequencies by extending bass response. More than a simple loudness boost, Dolby Mobile intelligently fills out those all-important low frequencies that create the pulse, the heartbeat, within a song or movie soundtrack. Dolby Mobile also restores the high frequencies that add clarity and definition to content—the intricate cymbal pattern within a song, for example, or the climax to a guitar solo. With Dolby Mobile, your entertainment will have all the impact, drama, and excitement you expect, no matter where you happen to be at the time.
