Automotive surround preamplifier

We are
very proud you have selected the
CSP-1
Automotive Surround Processor. No expense has
been
spared in the design
or
manufacture
of this product.
lt
is
the result of over a
decade
of extensive research
in
the
field
of psychoacoustics
-
in
both
home
and
automotive listening
environments.
The
audio signal path is unbelievably cleah and
uncolored
.
as a result
of the
use
of
low noise
circuitry,
metal
film
resis-
tors
and low-loss film capacitors. The high
interchannel
separation delivers performance that is
far
superior to
the
reproduced soundstage
from
a
conventional stereo system.
Every
necessary feature and adjustment has been
includ-
ed to assure superior performance
in
any
installation. After
listening
to high-performance surround
sound for
just
a few
hours,
you will
never
again be
satisfied with regular stereo.
IMPORTANT
This
product must
be installed and adjusted
properly.
Please
read this owners manual thoroughly so that
you
may
obtain maximum performance and
enjoyment from the
CSP-1.
This manual should be retained
for
future
reference
and
to
answer
operational questions
as they arise.
The
CSP-I
converts the conventional stereo system
in your
car
into a 5
channel surround sound
systenr on
rnrheels.
The CSP-1
is based upon exclusive lmage
Steering
Technology which has
an unparalleled ability
to
localize
multiple sound sources with precise accuracy and
com-
plete stability around a listening
area.
Your CSP-1
will give you
an initial listening
impression
of
dramatically
increased
depth
or
spaciousness
- a
natural
sense
of
acoustics
space and
size throughout your
listen-
ing
environment.
Critical
listening
will
reveal more specific
perceptions such
as unprecedented freedom from
elec-
tronic artifacts including image instability,
distortions
and
sonic coloration.
The CSP-1 is
able to achieve this freedom
from artifacts because unlike Digital Soundfield
Processors
the
CSP-1
does not
add
anything to the music. The
CSP-1
simply extracts information already contained in
stereo
recordings
and recreates
a
natural surround
soundfield.
With
the
CSP-1,
individual sound sources
within'the
pro-
gram
material
will
be
more
sharply defined and
localized
with multiple events occurring from various directions
simultaneously.
