1. Basic information The X-Tatic SR is a multi-platform headset that supports the Dolby®-Headphone technology, thus delivering a completely new sound experience: Dolby® Headphone makes sound more spatial, creating a natural sound feeling and – in connection with Dolby® Pro Logic® II – reproducing 5.1 surround sound on stereo headphones in a realistic way. This leads to both a more sophisticated sound design and a considerably enhanced sound reproduction and localization. 2.
