DSP(Digital Signal Processor) Modes

DSP modes have been designed to simulate different acoustic environments.

The sound heard in a hall, theater, pavilion, dance club, or live club consists of direct and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind.

To increase Effect level

Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. Indirect sounds are delayed by the distance of the ceiling and walls.

These indirect sounds are an important element of the acoustic surround effect.

Press the DSP/DPLII Mode button.

This function works only in the STEREO Mode.

The following DSP modes are provided with this unit:

HALL Provides a clear vocal and simulates the feeling of a concert hall.

To increase Effect level

Press the DSP/DPL II Effect button.

The effect level can be set in steps from 1 to 4 EFFECT1 EFFECT2 EFFECT3 OFF(DEFAULT).

Each time the button is pressed the selection moves to the next effect.

The higher the number, the stronger the DSP surround effect will be.

This function works only in the DSP Mode.
