All Channel Stereo reproduction

7 DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

7 All Channel Stereo

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

The following DAP modes are provided with this system.

LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL:Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.

PAVILION: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high ceiling.

All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM.

•When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM, and can give you a real “being there” feeling.

•When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display window.
