About Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by
taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency
response and surround levels moment-by-moment at
any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass
response, tonal balance, and surround impression that
remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic
EQ combines information from incoming source levels
with actual output sound levels in the room, a
prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction
solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works well by itself.
However, if Audyssey MultEQ
technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced
sound for every listener at any volume level.
About Audyssey Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large
variations in volume level between television programs,
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of
movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume
setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of
program material is being perceived by listeners in real
time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.
Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the
necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the
desired playback volume level while optimizing the
dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine
by itself, but can also be used with
Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on,
Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and
dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping
between television channels, or changing from stereo to
surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts
the volume.
