LISTENING IN DSP MODE

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes transform your living room into a variety of different sound environments when playing standard (two channel) stereo sources. Optionally, you can adjust the amount of effect added to the source. The descriptions below give an idea of how the five different modes sound, but you might want to play a source and experiment.

HALL

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large classical concert hall. Long delay and reverb decay times create a sense of music being played in a large space.

JAZZ

Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club. Shorter delay times and a tighter reverb help to give the sound a live, small club feel.

DANCE

Simulates the acoustic environment and strong bass sound of a dance music club.

THEATER 1

Simulates the acoustic environment of a mid-sized movie theater.

THEATER 2

Similar to the above but maintains proper localization of each channel.
