TBI introduces HDSS Auto Sound Product
TBI is introducing the first sound product intended for mobile applications. It has long been recognized the dilema in reproducing clear sound in vehicles. Manufacturers have resorted to putting many speakers everywhere in order to achieve sound dispersion. TBI with ETL technology now enables the tweeter to be placed near the midrange in the door and completely organize and present a high-end sound in any vehicle without a hassle. Soundstage and imaging are incredible from any position in the vehicle. Factory door units and custom component modules respond well to this exciting new application.
When was it proper to seperate the tweeter and woofer as it is currently done in order to hear the tweeter in a vehicle. Engineers don't recommend this in home speakers and now it's not necessary in vehicles. See our product section for more information.

ETL PATENT APPLICATION 10/709,538 IS APPROVED BY US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
On Dec 22 2006 the United States and Trademark Office approved patent application 10/709,538 for the audio "Embedded Transmission Line" (ETL). The patent will issue in March of 2007 and represents a milestone for the loudspeaker industry allowing high quality sound to be available for more applications.
The loudspeaker has been the Achilles Heel in preventing high quality sound from being realized in the many new applications for digital sound playback. TBI is currently producing its own ETL based product line while in talks with several major electronic companies very interested in improving the sound presentation of their products.
TBI has the intention of using this technology to improve sound quality worldwide and has instituted broad worldwide patent protection of the Embedded Transmission Line. Loudspeakers for all applications including consumer, commercial, industrial and military will soon realize a new threshhold of quality for sound playback.
The HDSS logo has been designated to identify products utilizing this groundbreaking loudspeaker technology.

News release: TBI presents HDSS the digital sound solution at T.H.E. SHOW January 8th – 11th 2007 (room 2008)
*The consumer is now demanding better sound quality from loudspeakers to maintain the listening experience of their iPod or other digital player outside of the solitary environment of the headphone.
*The consumer is demanding better sound quality from HDTV widescreen flat televisions not only from home theaters but from the lonely bedroom set that generally plays at romantic levels. Why can’t the picture and the sound be high def for all of the sets regardless of volume level or number of speakers?
*The consumer is demanding an end to the horrific sound quality heard with their desktop, laptop and general sound distribution in their homes.
*The consumer is demanding better sound quality from subwoofers to match the integrity of their high-end loudspeakers providing bass that is natural for all program material whether music or sound effects.
*The consumer is demanding an end to industry excuses blaming random room conditions for restricting their listening experience. It has to be as good or better in their room as it was under test conditions.
Introducing the High Definition Sound Standard for loudspeakers (HDSS)
The loudspeaker industry has been forced to ignore the flaws existing within the technology behind their designs. The resulting design of high-end loudspeakers today is more art than science with little regard to the products acceptance by the general consumer. The high costs of high-end components is evidence of the lack of suitable technology that allows the sound to flow from an amplifier to an acoustic environment without severe distortions being added. The room is no more the culprit than it is in distorting our voices or other naturally occurring sounds.
TBI is announcing its HDSS loudspeaker standard made possible using ETL technology to allow a simple amplifier to produce high-end audiophile quality sound under almost any normal acoustic conditions. This innovation brings a new threshold of appreciation for all electronic digital and analog sound formats. It is true that better components and proper setup can provide small incremental improvements to a sound system but it is the speaker that has flawed the fundamental delivery. Large scale and expensive solutions won’t reach the masses because they are only wanted by a few and are not practical for a normal modern flexible lifestyle. Even hardcore audiophiles need a break from the special listening room. We will show that many of the electronic signal manipulations existing today have a negative impact on properly reproduced sound.
Attend both CES and T.H.E. Show but be sure to visit our TBI demo rooms (2008) for a glimpse into the future of audio and a real and achievable loudspeaker standard HDSS.

THE REAL CHALLENGES FOR THE AUDIOPHILE SUBWOOFER
Several reviews of very popular subwoofer brands including entries from famous electrostatic manufacturers in popular Audiophile magazines confirm the ongoing hit and miss controversy involving subwoofers. Comments after an otherwise great review include:
- The low bass could be heard distinctly emerging from the corner
- Percussive bass was too directional and could be heard distinctly coming from the subwoofer
- One reviewer has retained an expensive subwoofer with calibration controls so that he can use the controls to setup other subwoofers that he reviews. The consumer isn't going to have these controls or knowledge to use them properly if he did while they don't solve the problem.
Other comments like, "I can get the subwoofer to disappear in the room but the bass does not appear to originate from the main speakers" are common conclusions from various reviewers. These comments and the difficulty incurred in achieving the best results document without any doubt the impossibility of a second static mass operating coherently with the mass of your woofer driver.
Audiophiles world wide are now enjoying the proper bass extension from their sophisicated audio systems. The challenge has been met under almost any acoustical conditions and without sophisicated test equipment. The result has been 100% effective for completing the audiophile listening experience. The Magellan Line from TBI has set new standards.
