Total Cal’s groundbreaking approach both simplifies the room calibration process for consumers and keeps costs down for manufacturers. Using the homeowner’s smart phone or tablet, or a calibrated USB microphone, this advanced technology easily guides the user through measurements of a products’ audio performance in the room. Then in mere seconds, this room-response data is compared to the original frequency response of the product, used to generate a customized correction curve, and programmed into the product. The resultant sound quality is greatly improved: better clarity, tonal balance, and bass response.
According to Total Sonics’ Vice President, Timothy Brault, “We are thrilled Haier’s team of outstanding product development experts have seen fit to add Total Cal as a key feature in their product line.”
Total Cal is just one part of the Total Technology suite of smart audio processing and calibration technologies, which also includes Total Sonics speaker optimization, Total Volume® automated loudness control, Total Surround® sound field expansion, Total Bass™ psychoacoustic bass processing, and the Total Immersion™ height virtualization technology we’ve developed in conjunction with Psy(x) Research. Innovations like Total Cal are a direct reflection of THAT Corporation’s legacy of improving audio performance, going back over 40 years to THAT’s predecessor, dbx® inc. With Total Cal, better sound in the home can now be accomplished at more affordable price points.
