Manufacturers of consumer equipment face a number of audio challenges that Oxford Digital can help overcome. These challenges include:

Improving sound quality
Extending both low and high frequency response range
Aiding listening and intelligibility in noisy environments
Providing exciting audio effects
Loudspeaker and earphone correction
Night-mode operation to avoid disturbing other family members or neighbours
Enhancing dialogue intelligibility

Current Oxford Digital effects that enhance the audio operation of Personal Devices include:

EQ-master: used for preset effects and speaker/earphone correction
Loud-master: used to make the audio seem louder without increasing the peak voltage to the loudspeaker
Peak-master: used to enhance listening and intelligibility in noisy environments. This gives a dramatic improvement that removes the need for frequent adjustment of local volume controls
Edge-master: used to add 'punch' to percussive effects or to remove transients to avoid overload and save battery drain or for background listening
Bass-master: used to improve the bass response of speakers and earphones beyond the range that they can naturally reproduce
Wide-master: used to enhance listening and give the impression of a bigger space
HFFX high frequency extension for restoration of material that has been damaged by lossy encoding (e.g. mp3) or was recorded band-limited or for up-conversion to 2*Fs or higher sampling rates
NMFx for 'night mode' operation which reduces loud noises (e.g. explosions in movies) whilst increasing the intelligibility of quiet speech.

In the words of one of Oxford Digital's clients, combinations of the above effects truly do yield 'eye-popping' results.
