PenteoSurround, Inc: The Cleanest 5.1 Surround Sound in the World

"One integral tool we used was the Penteo surround processor. This takes normal two-track recordings, from any decade, and outputs them into 5.1. It sounds amazing."

Mike Minkler, 3-time Oscar-winning Re-recording Mixer, Inglourious Basterds
(Post Magazine, August 2009)

"We used your process on a Willie Nelson song over the end credits and it sounded fantastic. The song opened up beautifully in 5.1 yet still felt true to the original. Best part is that it enabled us to completely remove the center channel vocals when we needed to play a "newscast" over part of the credits. We could now keep all the instruments and song going where normally we would have had to duck way down or stop the song completely. So for this application it made a huge difference."

Bruce Markoe, Head of Post Production, Overture Films

"I have 3 words for you: A-MAZ-ING! Are you looking for investors?"

Tamara Johnson, Re-recording Mixer, Smart Post Sound

"It truly sounds great. It opens doors. You can use Penteo to play it like it is or to build from the original mix. It's better from the start than anything we finish with now."

Jon Taylor, award-winning Sound Re-recording Editor, "Babel"

"The Penteo system maintained the original frequency spectrum flawlessly. It was great to hear some of those old recordings expanded out all around the listening field."

Will Eggleston, Marketing Director, Genelec

"When choosing an upmix algorithm to complement Orban's Optimod-Surround 8585 audio processor, I auditioned a number of different processes. Of these, only the Penteo Surround upmix sounded like discrete five-channel while preserving the balance of the stereo source without coloration. I was particularly impressed by its ability to place dialog firmly in the center channel even when the mix included other elements placed around the stereo soundstage. Penteo was the hands-down winner of my shoot-out."

Robert Orban, Chief Engineer of Orban/CRL

"It was really exciting using this extraordinary new Penteo Surround system to demonstrate our new TB2S-A II series in a 5.1 setup at AES 2009. It created quite a buzz at the convention and boosted our presence on the show floor quite nicely."

Maurice Patist, PMC CMO and Strategic Sales Manager / Specialist Systems Group.
