SHS Mode

Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) is a special feature of the ES520 digital piano that enhances the depth and realism
of the acoustic piano sound when listening through headphones or earphones.
The SHS Mode setting allows the player to select from one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial
positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or headphones for
extended periods of time.
* This setting does not affect the speaker or Line Out sound.
