MUSIC
Hall in Munich
This program simulates a Munich concert hall with approximately 2,500 seats that uses
stylish wood for the interior finishing. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly, creating a
calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.
Hall in Vienna
This program simulates a 1700-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.
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 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.
MOVIE
Sports
This program allows listeners to enjoy the rich vividness of sport broadcasts and light
entertainment programs. In sports broadcasts, the commentators’ voices are positioned
clearly at the center, while the atmosphere inside the stadium is realistically conveyed by
the peripheral delivery of the sounds of the fans in a suitable space.
