Every year, as the leaves turn brown and the air begins to get a little chillier, there are a few constants that as Americans, we have come to expect. Football seizes the attention of most every Saturday and Sunday, while preparations for the upcoming holidays begin to take focus. Another right of passage of every fall is the upcoming schedule of new and returning TV shows to our favorite networks.

In the past, we have discussed different types of sound technologies such as: Digital vs Analog and PCM vs Dolby Digital. Today we will discuss what Digital Signal Processing is and how it can lead to a better TV viewing experience.

Digital signal processing (DSP) is the use of computer algorithms on digital signals to perform a wide variety of modifications to the signal.

When someone needs medical attention they will go see their doctor. The doctor will diagnosis the issue and then prescribe the proper treatment or therapy to combat this issue. If there is an issue that would need special attention your doctor would then tell you that you will need to see a specialist. When it comes to your hearing, that specialist is called an audiologist.

Last night I went to a restaurant with my dad for dinner. My dad is 84 years old and needless to say, he's not as sharp as he once was when he was a younger man.

Every year around this time retailers start gearing up for the upcoming holiday season. They are all getting their sales lined up for Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Hanukkah, Christmas and any other excuse in between to have a sale.

While last week's article focused on specific voice enhancement techniques of the ChairSpeaker, this week we will discuss some other methods that work to improve the quality of the sound that you hear.

As some of you know by now, starting this month KARE, LLC will now be producing the ChairSpeaker locally, here in the US. So we wanted to take a moment to go behind-the-scenes a little bit and explain how some of our features work.

Last week we discussed the the differences between PCM and Dolby Digital sound. This week we are going to discuss whether or no digital sound is better than analog.

In order to make a better educated decision, let's find out what these two sound qualities are about.

A common question people ask when trying to find the best sound quality for their TV or entertainment system, is "What's a better format, PCM or Dolby Digital?"

Before we decide which one is better, let us first get a better understanding of the two, so this way you can make a better educated decision.
