This program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic
positioning
of
multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept
of
"an
ideal movie theater", in which the audience
is
surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and
rear
This program represents the spectacular feeling
of
large-scale movie productions.
It
reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent
dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.
This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design
of
the latest science fiction and special effects-
featuring movies.
You
can enjoy a variety
of
cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear
separation between dialog, sound effects and background music.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design
of
action and adventure movies.
The 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.
