ADJUSTING THE SOUND
DSP (DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR)+
The sound of a concerl hall is produced by sounds reflected from
the walls and ceiling, reinforcing the sounds coming directly from
the orchestra.
You can use this unit's DSP circuits to recreate reflected sounds
digitally, to obtain the sound presence of a disco, live music
performance or concert hall.
In addition, the supplied speaker system has a surround speaker
which faces upward and outside, for a surround sound effect.
By selecting a DSP mode, you can obtain more effective surround
sound.
