The CSE-07A from SRS Labs is a Circle Surround encoder that enables audio professionals to encode up to 6.1 channels of discrete program material for transmission using any two-channel medium. This could include two-channel broadcast (including DTV,) two-channel Internet streams, VHS, PC and console games and CDs.
The resulting material is robust and suitable for both analog and digital distribution. The unit supports bit rates as low as 40Kbps and delivers great sounding home theater audio performance at 192Kbps and above. Circle Surround encoded material is backwards compatible with all existing playback formats from mono to 5.1 channel surround sound.
The front panel of the CSE-07A features input signal presence indicators and output level meters and clip indicator.
