About Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion (A-DSX)

 

Audyssey DSX® is a scalable system that adds new speakers to

 

 

improve surround impression.

 

Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX® first adds Wide channels

 

for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has

 

proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical

 

in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than the Back Surround

 

channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX® then

 

creates a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most important

 

acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and

 

Height channels, Audyssey DSX® applies Surround Envelopment

 

Processing to enhance the blend between the front and surround

 

channels.
