  • Page 31: Digital Sound Field Processing (Dsp)

    The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.

    It recreates comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room. In CINEMA DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the Front left and right, and Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources, and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
