three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left

and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

T – D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

natural reverb.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note
