About Involve Audio

Involve Audio Pty Ltd.

 (Melbourne Australia) was established in 

2009. Our goal was to develop a new surround sound standard that is 

noticeably better and more cost effective than traditional Dolby® and 

other surround sound solutions that have been on the market for over 

35 years.

After years of research and development, Involve Audio has achieved 

a number of technical breakthroughs dealing with the core physics 

involved with creating stereo and surround sound that are incorporated 

into your Akoustos Y4 Pro Home Stereo System.

Involve™

Our patented process called 

Involve™

 creates a full surround sound 

experience from any stereo source including Television, Internet, mobile 

devices, iPods, records, etc. without adding or subtracting any signals 

to, or from, the original sound tracks. It provides the most accurate 

representation of the audio provided.

SweetSpot™ (SST™)

We have created a patented technology called 

SweetSpot™

 that enables 

your 

Involve™

 Akoustos Y4 sound system to be enjoyed by everyone 

in the room no matter where they are, eliminating the need to find the 

best seat in the house. All the seats in the room are now in the same 

surround sound field and provide the same audio experience.
