RUSH Motion Picture Soundtrack - Featuring Original Music by Hans Zimmer - to Ship Featuring a DTS Headphone:X Mix

DTS Headphone:X is an Advanced Technology That Delivers a Realistic Cinematic Audio Experience over Headphones and Ear Buds

CALABASAS, Calif. (September 26, 2013) - DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced that the Rush: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, released by WaterTower Music, featuring original music from Academy Award , Grammy and Golden Globe-winning composer Hans Zimmer, will feature a DTS Headphone:X audio mix, allowing listeners to hear the score precisely as Zimmer intended it to sound. Fans of the movie will have the opportunity to download all tracks in DTS Headphone:X via Zimmers Z+ Rush app.

DTS Headphone:X is an advanced new technology that enables content producers to capture the acoustics of a high quality audio production studio for faithful reproduction on consumer-end products. The technology externalizes and expands sound, so instead of listeners perceiving that the sound is inside their head, as with traditional headphone listening, they experience it as coming from high quality loudspeakers located some distance around them. With benefits for both producers and consumers, DTS Headphone:X presents a whole new way to enjoy entertainment content over headphones.

"While composing the score for Rush, my goal was to communicate the essence of our main characters by balancing the sound of their personal tribulations with the adrenaline-infused sounds of the actual races," said Hans Zimmer. "Hearing the Rush score in Headphone:X via the Z+ Rush app virtually transports listeners to my mixing chair, allowing them to experience the emotion and meaning of the music exactly as I wrote it."

"Working with Hans on his second Headphone:X soundtrack release has been an incredible experience," said Geir Skaaden, senior vice president of products and platforms, DTS, Inc. "Thanks to the success of the first Headphone:X release, Man of Steel, we were able to continue building the library of titles available in this revolutionary technology with the Rush soundtrack. With Headphone:X, listeners will be able to experience the same acoustic environment used by Hans during the making of the soundtrack, and will hear every audio nuance used to transport listeners back to the legendary 1970s Formula rivalry between Hunt and Lauda in full surround sound over headphones or earbuds."

The Rush: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack mixed in DTS Headphone:X can be accessed via the Z+ Rush app, available on the iTunes App Store and Android Market.
