DTS licenses multiple audio enhancement technologies to Window PC manufacturers so that consumers can enjoy high quality immersive audio experiences over headphones and with the built-in speakers. To help simplify the technology integration effort, DTS creates “reference” apps for users to change advanced DTS audio settings – which manufacturers are free to integrate as-is or to modify as they see fit.

Conceptualized and designed GUI. Produced graphic assets for development team.

The app offers an immersive visual experience, with the background image changing depending on the user-selected Content Mode.

If audio is currently being routed through the built-in speakers, the user has a few more audio enhancement options, such as boosting the bass or engaging volume leveling. A graphic equalizer is also available for the built-in speakers.

This app features a basic 5-band graphic equalizer where a user can enjoy different EQ settings for headphones and built-in speakers.

For headphones, the user can choose one of several stereo virtualization options.

For headphones, the DTS Headphone:X audio engine can be configured with reverb and spatial values for multi-channel (2.1 and higher) content.

The About Screen features marketing copy and an outbound company website link.

The user is free to turn off all DTS enhancements on the device. Rather than just showing the UI controls in a disabled state, a message is revealed explaining the benefits of the technology.
