The name of the other company that is using (and actually developed) Q-sound
is Archer Communications of Calgary Alberta.  The 3D sound is reproduced on
standard stereo equipment.  And has been used on many popular artist CDs.  I
knew when I saw the Gravis Pres. coming out of the Q-sound demo booth at
Comdex that this was going to happen.  It is an obvious evolution.

What little I know about Q-sound technology indicates that the 3D effect is
created during the recording and then can be reproduced on any stereo
equipment.  When using speakers: it is required that the bottom of the
speakers and the bottom of the monitor be at the same level to achieve the
proper effect.

I have access to a lot of Archer material and will post when I get time to
dig it out.
