About Dynamic EQ

 

 

-Multi

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ solves the problem of deteriorating sound

 

 

 

 

 

quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human

 

 

zone

perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct

 

 

frequency

response and surround levels moment-by-moment at

 

 

Information

any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response,

 

 

 

 

 

tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant

 

 

 

despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information

 

 

 

from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the

 

 

 

room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.

 

 

Troubleshooting

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to

 

 

 

 

 

provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About Dynamic Volume

 

 

 

Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations

 

 

 

in volume

level between television programs, commercials, and

 

 

Specifications

between the soft and loud passages of movies.

 

 

 

 

 

Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and

 

 

 

then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived

 

 

 

by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.

 

 

 

Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid

 

 

 

 

 

or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume

 

 

 

level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is

 

 

 

integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is

 

 

 

adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,

 

 

 

surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether

 

 

 

watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing

 

 

 

from stereo to surround sound content.
