Based on a recent industry research*, the growing PC market worldwide has been shifting noticeably towards notebooks with an expected growth rate of 20% in 2009 and a compound annual growth rate of 15% (from 2008 to 2012). The inherent limitations in notebook form factor and design requirements in relation to smaller speaker drivers and space constraints continue to pose significant challenges that need to be overcome to deliver a compelling entertainment experience. Working closely to optimize the audio performance of HP’s new, entertainment-focused Pavilion notebooks, SRS has been able to leverage its extensive audio expertise and know-how to allow HP to focus on the design and development of stylish, high-performance notebooks that deliver a remarkable, premium audio experience to their customers. |
