INTRODUCTION • E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND A key element of the T 785’s unique musical aptitude is NAD’s proprietary Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS). In sharp contrast to many “ambience-synthesis” music-surround modes, EARS exploits the T 785’s substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is “encrypted” in virtually all natural-acoustic recordings to the appropriate main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to artificially generated reflections or regeneration.
