Phantom Acoustics™ Ss3® Processors
In the beginning, there were records, magnetic tape decks, and large vacuum tube amplifiers that consumers used to listen to their favorite recordings in the comfort of their living rooms. These days, we have the ability to take the equivalent of all this equipment anywhere we want along with 10,000 songs all on a device that’s not much larger than a pack of chewing gum. However, the one thing that digital audio formats have not been able to reproduce is the warmth, richness and fidelity of analog recordings on vinyl and magnetic tape. Until now.




Phantom Acoustics Ss3® audio signal processors are the CE industry’s first affordable audio enhancement solutions designed specifically for portable audio devices. During the process of compressing music into a digital format (CDs, MP3s, DVDs, etc.) spatial characteristics of the music along with certain background voices and instruments are masked. Phantom Acoustics’ Ss3 circuits restore this latent information to re-create studio-quality sound and provide the listener a rich, immersive listening experience much like you’d hear in a live performance.

The vast array of mobile devices flooding the market is creating built-in demand for the high-fidelity quality consumers already expect from their systems at home. In order for the portable audio market to maintain its rapid growth, it will be paramount that the audio quality improves as manufactures add features and functionality. In short, Phantom Acoustics has developed the only technologies available to meet this unmet need.

While there have been many computer plug-ins and home stereo components that provided enhanced sound, none have ever been made portable. The Phantom Ss3 processors are designed from the ground up to be small, inexpensive, with low power consumption, allowing it to attach to or be embedded into portable audio devices, headphones, PC speakers, PC sound cards, and other small devices. The Ss3 processor also makes a noticeable improvement on additional forms of audio including video games, phones and voice.
