Multiple Microphone Inputs
Multiple microphones allow for the optimization of multiple seats. This results in a larger listening area that benefits from a more accurate room optimization.
Two Listening Curves
Two different playback curves have been implemented to better match the type of playback material. Cinema mode closely follows the standard for playback curves used in commercial cinemas and scoring stages. This will allow the system to closely match the experience of the directors and producers of popular films and TV shows. Music mode is a gentler playback curve that better mimics the frequency response in most music production studios.
