Company Heritage
Audyssey Laboratories was conceived at the Immersive Audio Laboratory at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. In late 1996, after a fierce competition among 117 universities, the National Science Foundation established a unique research center at USC that focused on immersive technologies. A key component of the Integrated Media Systems Center (IMSC) is the Immersive Audio Laboratory that was founded by Chris Kyriakakis and Tomlinson Holman (creator of THX). Over the past 10 years Tom and Chris have conducted research in audio signal processing, acoustics, and psychoacoustics. The results of their interdisciplinary research have been published in more than 100 technical journal publications and several books. Audyssey Labs was spun out of the Immersive Audio Laboratory in 2002 to commercialize this research.
