DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an arena, jazz club, or stadium to almost any type of program source.* These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the STADIUM or ARENA mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

The WALL parameter lets you adjust the “brightness” of the sonic environment according to your preference.Þ

The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic environment according to your preference. Þ

The EFFECT level lets you adjust the “presence” of the sonic environment according to your preference. Þ

*The DSP mode will produce a stereo-like surround effect from monaural sources, but there will be some reduction in the presence of the arena, jazz club, or stadium (etc.).

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.
