ENGLISH

Turning on/off the BBE function

This section is ONLY FOR KD-SX999R.

The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc.

When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation.When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.

Turning on/off the loudness function

The human ear is less sensitive to low and high frequencies at low volumes.

The loudness function can boost these frequencies to produce well-balanced sound at low volume level.

Each time you press LOUD, the loudness function turns on and off alternately.
