About the expansion effect modes
One of the following three effect modes can be selected.
Each has its own special characteristics as described below depending on the frequency band
pattern which is to be expanded.
Harmonic Expansion
Expanding the harmonic components contained in music accentuates the lingering tones
and gives the sound an added brilliance. This mode is particularly suited to vocals and
music made by acoustic instruments. It can have an effect on almost all genres of music,
and it is the mode which is normally used.
High tone Expansion
Expanding the high-tone components enhances the feeling of the sound’s resolution. It is
particularly suited to hard-sounding types of music made by electronic instruments. With
rock or pop music, you can enjoy a more lively sound.
All range Expansion
This provides an expansion effect over all the range contained in the music. Since there is
no focus on a particular point to be expanded, the CC converter can have an effect with all
types of music.
About the intensity
One of three menu options can be selected as the intensity level of the effect to be exerted by
the CC converter. It is recommended that you select the level of intensity that matches the size
of the speakers that will reproduce the sound, the performance of the headphones and type of
sound data (compressed or non-compressed).
More presence
The CC converter functions to have the maximum effect.
The “More presence” level is suited to playing back compressed music data through the
PC’s built-in speakers or other small-sized speakers. With some types of music, the noise
may be accentuated in which case the “Standard” or “More natural” option should be
selected.
Standard
With the “Standard” level, the CC converter exerts an effect which is suited to listening to
compressed music data through headphones or mini audio components. This is the setting
which is normally used.
More natural
The CC converter functions to reproduce the original sound with the highest possible fidelity.
The “More natural” level is suited to listening to non-compressed high-quality data through
large-sized speakers.
Set to this mode if the level of noise is so high that it interferes with your listening pleasure
while using headphones
