AudysseyDSX*8 • AudysseyDSX
AudysseyDSX® is a scalable system
that adds new speakers to improve
surround impression. Starting with a
5.1 system AudysseyDSX 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. AudysseyDSX 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,
AudysseyDSX 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 home-theater
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.
