Hall in Munich A
This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2,500 seats in
Munich, using stylish wood for the interior finishing as normal standards for
European concert halls. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly, creating a
calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.
Hall in Munich B
This hall is frequently used for recording orchestral music, and is a shoe-box type
concert hall with around 1,300 seats. The hall is constructed from marble,
resulting in relatively flat resonance. Further, the high ceiling causes sound to
reverberate for longer than usual.
Hall in Frankfurt
This is a large shoe-box type concert hall with around 2,400 seats located in
Frankfurt. This hall has a very solid, powerful sound. The listener’s virtual seat is
in the center-right section on the first floor.
Hall in Stuttgart
This is a large asymmetrical concert hall with around 2,000 seats located in
downtown Stuttgart. Sound reflected off the concrete wall located to the left of
listeners has a powerful presence.
Hall in Vienna
This program simulates a 1,700-seat, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox
shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely
complex reverberations from all around the audience, producing a very full, rich
sound.
Hall in Amsterdam
The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2,200 around the circle stage.
Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.
Hall in USA A
This is a large 2,600 seat concert hall in the United States which features a fairly
traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple, in the American
style. The middle and high frequencies are richly and beautifully reinforced.
Hall in USA B
This spacious arch-shaped hall has a dome ceiling and can seat 2,600. The ample
resonance apparent in the sound is a feature brought about by longer than
average period of reverberation. In addition to this, the reflector suspended
above the stage allows listeners to experience rich sound from the direction of the
stage.
Church in Tokyo
The acoustic environment of an ordinary church with moderate
reverberations. The reverberation lasts 2.5 seconds. This is ideal for
reproducing church organ and choral music.
Church in Freiburg
Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a pointed
tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the high ceiling
enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial reflection time. Thus,
the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself reproduces the atmosphere of
the church.
Church in
Royaumont
This program features the sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of a
beautiful medieval Gothic monastery located in Royaumont on the outskirts of
Paris.
Chamber
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling, like an audience
hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly
music and chamber music.
Village Gate
This is the sound field at a jazz club that was in New York. It is in a basement and
has a relatively spacious floor area. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left
of the hall.
Village Vanguard
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low ceiling
makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in the center.
Warehouse Loft
The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the concrete
walls clearly with a lot of energy.
Cellar Club
This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and homey
atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds that make you
feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small stage.
The Roxy Theatre
This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert venue in Los
Angeles. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
The Bottom Line
This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a famous
New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a
sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
Arena
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds,
with the extraordinarily spacious feel of a large arena.
2ch Stereo
Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When
multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and output
from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).
11ch Stereo
Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back
multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and then
outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger sound field
and is ideal for background music at parties.
