MPEG Surround is a feature-rich open standard compression technique for multi-channel audio signals. Operating on top of any core audio codec – including AAC, HE-AAC and MPEG-1 Layer II – the system provides a comprehensive feature set, including highest surround and stereo audio quality, bit-rates currently used for compression of stereo signals, full backward compatibility to stereo equipment, wide scalability in terms of the surround image description bit-rate, and virtualized binaural multi-channel sound reproduction capability for stereo headphones.
