Q sound
Q-Sound is a surround sound system from the Canadian company Q-Sound Labs. The process was developed in the 1980s and marketed for the first time.
The system offers the possibility of generating a 3D sound effect with normal stereo recordings : the listener has the impression that noises are coming from the front or the rear of the listener.
Prominent users of this process include Sting and Pink Floyd co- founder Roger Waters , who compared the sound process with the advancement of audio technology from mono to stereo sound.
Since then, Q-Sound has often been used on audio CDs , DVDs and in video games.
