DTS Clear Dialogue will make your TV sound better
In This Article
AI is the buzzword with many devices at this moment and DTS is utilising the power of AI to help your TVs sound better.
Its new Clear Dialogue solution looks to resolve a big issue many have with TVs in that they’re not able to clearly understand what’s said on screen. Although, we’re minded to say that’s more an issue with a TV’s small speakers than necessarily what you’re watching.
Nevertheless, Clear Dialogue looks to provide TV owners with the ability to “personalize and optimize their audio experience, significantly improving their understanding of dialogue”. This is possible through creating profiles with dialogue and non-dialogue settings, to help those with hearing impairments or cover a wide range of listening environments to get the best performance possible from their TV’s speakers.
Using AI audio processing and machine learning technqiues, the Clear Dialogue feature is able to “identify, separate, and enhance dialogue”. It’s also language-inclusive, which sounds to us like it’ll be able to work with many languages (though DTS hasn’t said how many). It’s also designed to be “agnostic to content type”, so it’ll work across films, TV shows, sports, live events, and more.
This sounds like welcome step forward, though it isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this type of technology infiltrating TVs. Mimi Defined offers a similar approach and can be found inPhilips TVs, while LG’s 2024 OLED TVs also make use of AI to make dialogue clearer and more audible. We found it worked rather well in our review ofthe G4 OLED.
There is no word on which TVs you’ll find this technology on or when it’ll launch exactly, but Trusted Reviews will be at the IFA technology show in Berlin to listen to the tech first-hand.
