New video game chair delivers personal surround sound and rumbling bass.

Pyramat, the creators of “sound furniture” for video games, movies and music, is showing the hottest seat in the house at the 2006 International CES in Las Vegas. Pyramat launched their latest product at the CES 2006, the PM220 Sound Rocker. A video game chair that vibrates in time to the action on the screen. The new Sound Rocker lets users hear and feel all of the action from video games, movies and music.

Using Audio Response Technology, the Sound Rocker vibrates and pulses in time to the on-screen action. It transfers low frequency sound through a 5.5 inch subwoofer, creating a powerful rumbling bass that puts the player into the action. This gives the player a sound advantage and actually improves their game play.

Yamaha recently introduced the Yamaha YSP-800 digital sound projector, following the success of its two award-winning siblings, the Yamaha YSP-1 and the Yamaha YSP-1000. Sound & Vision, Popular Science, PC World, E-Gear, and Digital Entertainment Group were some of the patrons of the YSP series in 2005.

The Yamaha YSP Series provides true multi-channel surround sound from a single component, eliminating the need for multiple speakers and messy cables. They are a perfect fit with a plethora of TVs and Video monitors. The YSP-800 and YSP-1000 additionally come equipped with the IntelliBeam technology that improves overall acoustics. If you ever decide to buy one, be prepared to shell out a thick wad of currency.

Current standards provide up to 8 separate channels for audio but Dolby Labs have used Intel’s new VIIV and Pro Logic IIx to up-sample those channels to 14.1. Sure, while it is not encoded in those channels natively, testers did claim to hear a difference.

Dolby does not have any intentions on producing this anytime soon. Simply because none of the optical formats support this kind of signal.
