SDP-40

MODE ADJUST

CHURCH

MODE ADJUST CHURCH

Uses a reverb algorithm to emphasize the rich, smooth, reverberant decay characteristic of small and medium listening spaces with long reverberation time relative to their size, such as churches and chambers.

Unlike other room simulation listening modes, this mode uses a proprietary reverb algorithm that is relied upon by a majority of recording engineers to add ambience to record- ings.

CATHEDRAL

MODE ADJUST CATHEDRAL

Similar to the CHURCH listening mode.

Uses a reverb algorithm to emphasize the rich, smooth, reverberant decay characteristic of large listening spaces with long reverberation time relative to their size, such as cathedrals.

Unlike other room simulation listening modes, this mode uses a proprietary reverb algorithm that is relied upon by a majority of recording engineers to add ambience to record- ings.
