Descriptions

 

 

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.

AdventureThe sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded widely to the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation

between audio channels and the clarity of the sound.

This sound field features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres from serious

Dramadramas to musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest but offer an optimum 3D feeling, reproducing effects tones and background music softly but cubically around clear words and center positioning in a way that does not fatigue the listener even after long hours of viewing.

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources such as a classic movie in an

Mono Movieatmosphere of a good old movie theater.

The program produces the optimum expansion and reverberation to the original audio to create a comfortable space with a certain sound depth.
