3.XBass+ ® for Speakers
(20Hz with+ 12dB/20Hz with+
6dB/-
)
XBass®
for Speakers is quite different to its sister
technologyXBass®
for Headphones. The former gives
audio systems adjustable levels of bass control to
enhance listening enjoyment through speakers that
have limited bass
extension.
Great care has been
taken to ensure no degradation in sound quality.
20 Hz (6dB)
For speakers missing only the
lowest bass notes (below
40Hz).
20 Hz (12dB)
For speakers missing some bass
notes (below 80Hz).
XBass+

switched out.

4. 3D Holographic+® for Speakers
(30°+/+/-
)
The latest 3D
Holographic+®
matrix for Speakers offers
something quite special; it takes high-end systems to
another level of
performance.
It was drawn from the
original ground-breaking work by Alan Blumlein, the
'father of stereo.'
First, it corrects the fundamental spatial distortion in
recordings.
Second, it increases the width of the
soundstage beyond that of the speaker placement.
30°+
This matrix adds an extra 30° to redress the
narrow placement of speakers (eg either side
of a PC monitor).
+
3D+
®
matrix is switched out of the signal path.
This matrix recreates original 'width' of the
soundstage and is the recommended DEFAULT
setting.
