Sound reproduction outside the listener’s head

With the Logic 3D processor, headphone playback does not confine the sound to a fixed position in the listener’s head, but creates the sensation of 360-degree natural sound field with spatial orientation. This allows simulation of the surround sound field from speaker playback when using not only DVD, but all audio and video sources.
