value of 0 is usually a good starting point. Increasing the pre-delay will make the hall sound larger.

PANORAMA EFFECT adjusts the strength of the signal used to expand the stereo image outward from the front two speakers. Its initial value is zero, unless you have configured the CP-3 for no side loudspeakers.

SPEECH DETECT The Speech Detection circuit distinguishes monaural speech from other inputs. Essentially, this control turns down the effect to make speech clearer. Whenever stereo signals are present, the right and left input channels are used independently as inputs to the ambience synthesis. If there is a strong monaural speaking voice present at the same time, this component of the input is reduced while the stereo component is increased.

If the input signal is pure monaural speech the reverb effect is attenuated. SPEECH DETECT is a real benefit to some popular music (where spoken voice, such as rap, occurs along with music), stereo television, and early stereo movies.

TREBLE ROLLOFF, as in the Ambience mode, is preset to mimic air absorption in actual spaces, being more pronounced in the larger ones.

In Reverb, MAIN MUTE mutes allows you to hear only the CP-3 generated effects; EFFECTS MUTE allows you to hear the original, unprocessed stereo signal.

Note that the S/N Optimizer is not active in this mode.
