Listening to music with desired tone and sound field

This unit permits selection of a variety of preset equalizer patterns as well as registration of equalizer patterns created by the user. The “S.direct” (Source direct) mode allows you to reproduce pure sound by bypassing the sound processing circuitry such as the EX.BASS (Extra Bass) and equalizer circuits.

Selecting the equalizer pattern and 3D surround level (XD-7...series)

Select the desired pattern and 3D surround level according to the category of the played music. The equalizer and 3D surround effects can be recorded together with the music.

Application

3D surround (XD-7...series)

This is a system producing a three-dimensional sound space. The feeling of depth, the width of the sound field, etc. are improved clearly, and the listening area also is widened.

* DSP (Digital Signal Processor) playback (XD-6...series,XD-8...series)

The DSP mode uses the digital processing capability of the DSP to create the reverberation components (factors of sound reflections in a variety of spaces), that determine the feeling of presence, without altering the quality of the music source.

The DSP mode creates the ambiance of a hall, disco, live house or church from any kind of program source. This Note mode is particularly effective when listening to a stereo program source such as a CD, TV and FM broadcasting.

Although the DSP mode can create a simulated stereo surround effect from a monaural source, the proper effect may not be obtained depending on the played software.
