Hear What You Listen To

McDSP Audio Level eXtension (ALX) algorithms improve audio recording and playback performance using patent pending techniques derived from McDSP's experience in professional audio software development over the last decade.

Recordings using ALX can capture up to 30 dB (32 times) more signal than standard recordings.  ALX can also isolate close proximity signals from background noise during recording, and minimize volume variations during playback.

Audio playback using ALX provides a better listening experience by maximizing audio fidelity and minimizing volume changes.  Playback benefits of ALX algorithms include:

• Minimized music track volume variations
• Noisy environments no longer impacting listening enjoyment of music and movies
• Television and movie manner mode for listening at reduced levels, while keeping loud and quiet parts audible

Because ALX algorithms are highly optimized and have little latency, they can be used for other realtime audio applications such as:

• Maximizing signal levels between cell phone callers
• Better audio fidelity in laptop and desktop computer speakers
• Improved fidelity for internet audio streaming
• Better audio fidelity in computer games and game consoles (XBox 360, PS3, others)

The McDSP Retro Recorder is the first consumer audio product to incorporate ALX technology.  Stay tuned for more developments using ALX.  License inquiries can be directed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
