MaxxAudio® 4 is a suite of state-of-the-art technologies from Waves Audio, recipient
of a 2011 Technical GRAMMY® award.
Today's laptop is more than a just computer; it's a full-blown entertainment system.
That’s why Waves is proud to present studio-quality sound—anytime, anywhere.
Laptops powered by Waves MaxxAudio 4 deliver bigger, better sound, with lower lows,
higher highs, and a super-wide stereo spread. In fact, the same award-winning Waves
processors heard on hit records, major motion pictures, and popular video games
worldwide are behind today’s laptop sound revolution.
Whether they’re listening to music, watching a movie, playing a game, or talking
on Skype, users expect superior performance, advanced features, and maximum versatility.
Laptops powered by Waves MaxxAudio 4 deliver.
SENSORY PERCEPTION
Music. Movies. Games. Today’s laptops do it all. MaxxAudio 4 listens to your content
before you do and makes the necessary adjustments in real-time, before the sound
reaches your ears. That means you can truly lose yourself in the experience, without
reaching for the volume between songs or scenes, or every time they cut to commercial.
MaxxVolume increases volume levels dramatically, improving clarity and increasing
the intelligibility of soft sounds at quiet volumes. With expert presets designed
by top sound engineers, just set it and forget it—MaxxVolume does the rest.
MaxxLeveler smoothes out volumes, automatically adjusting differences in
level for richer performance at all volumes, using two pre-programmed listening
modes—Normal, with a wide dynamic range for everyday listening, and Midnight, ideal
for those times when you don’t want to disturb others.
HIGHER DEFINITION
MaxxTreble high frequency enhancement brings out every nuance of music and
movies, with crisp, breathtaking detail and unparalleled clarity.
MaxxDialog is a powerful dialog booster that lets you adjust dialog levels
in movies and games, relative to the backgrounds, so you can bring the dialog upfront
and center—exactly where you want it. Now you can enjoy clear, crisp dialog that
doesn’t disappear behind loud music and special effects, without affecting the rest
of the audio mix. And if you’re a Skype user, you’ll certainly appreciate the increased
detail and definition that MaxxDialog delivers.
MaxxStereo improves the stereo separation of your laptop speakers by widening
the “sweet spot” to create a super-wide stereo spread. That means you get the best
seat in the house, every single time.
BIGGER BASS - ANYPLACE
MaxxBass® virtual subwoofer technology uses the science of psycho-acoustics
to deliver deep, thundering lows that you can really feel. Unlike traditional bass
boost technologies which use EQ and can overpower your system, the patented MaxxBass
process analyzes your content to create lower, richer tones with a more natural
sound.
MaxxEQ gives you the power to shape your sound with pinpoint precision. A
full spectrum equalizer, MaxxEQ graphic equalization is perfect for all types of
content, from streaming media and movies to and music and games.
Best of all, Waves sound experts calibrate every MaxxAudio 4 control to ensure that
each and every device delivers optimal performance. Whether you listen through built-in
speakers, external speakers or headphones, MaxxAudio 4 responds in real time, for
consistent high-fidelity sound through any reproduction system.
Waves MaxxAudio® is featured in a variety of products from the leading names
in consumer electronics. Here are just a few:
