Hints for adjusting the parameters (STR-DE1015G)

• Wall material simulation (WALL)

When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard wall is highly reflective and does not significantly affect the frequency response of the reflected sound. The WALL parameter lets you control the level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening environment by simulating a softer (SOFT), or harder (HARD) wall. The midpoint designates a neutral wall (made of wood).
