Audyssey DSX*8 | • Audyssey DSX | D | Bb | |||||

|
| Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve | F |
|
| A u d y s s e y D S X |
|
| |||||
|
| surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds | G |
| ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
|
| Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| hearing has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than Back Surround |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| blend between the front and surround channels. |

THX |
|
|
|
| Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| director intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| environment. They can be used with |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the selected listening mode. |
