Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

!The acoustics of different performance en- vironments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or re- verberations. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous- tics of various performance settings.
