|
| Audyssey DSX® is a scalable system | F b | |

|
| surround impression. Starting with a | H |
|
5.1system Audyssey DSX first adds Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than the Back Surround channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels.

THX |
|
| Founded by George Lucas, THX |
|
| |
|
|
|
| develops stringent standards that |
|
|
|
|
|
| ensure movies are reproduced in movie |
|
|
|
|
|
| theaters and home theaters just as the |
|
|
|
|
|
| director intended. THX Modes carefully |
|
|
|
|
|
| optimize the tonal and spatial |
|
|
|
|
|
| characteristics of the soundtrack for |
|
|
|
|
|
| reproduction in the |
|
|
|
|
|
| environment. They can be used with 2- |
|
|
|
|
|
| channel matrixed and multichannel |
|
|
|
|
|
| sources. Surround back speaker output |
|
|
|
|
|
| depends on the source material and the |
|
|
|
|
|
| selected listening mode. |
