OPPO enters licensing agreement with Dirac Research to offer best possible mobile music experience
San Francisco and Uppsala, Sweden. 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.”
