JVC TH-A5 manual DSP Digital Signal Processor Modes

■DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes

DSP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a hall, a theater, a pavilion, a dance club, or a live club consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.

HALL	: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert
	hall.
THEATER	: Gives the feeling of a theater.
PAVILION	: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a
	high ceiling.

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.

LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.
