Action Game
This program is suitable for action games, such as car racing and fighting games. The reality
of, and emphasis on, various effects makes the player feel like they are right in the middle of
the action, allowing for greater concentration. Use this program in combination with
Compressed Music Enhancer for a more dynamic and strong sound field.
Roleplaying Game
This program is suitable for role-playing and adventure games. This program adds depth to
the sound field for natural and realistic reproduction of background music, special effects,
and dialogue from a wide variety of scenes. Use this program in combination with
Compressed Music Enhancer for a clearer and more spatial sound field.
Music Video
This program allows you to enjoy videos of pop, rock, and jazz concerts, as if you were there
yourself. Immerse yourself in the hot concert atmosphere thanks to the vividness of the
singers and solos on stage, a presence sound field that emphasizes the beat of rhythm
instruments, and a surround sound field that reproduces the space of a big live hall.
Recital/Opera
This program controls the amount of reverberations at an optimum level and emphasizes
the depth and clarity of human voices to offer the reverberations of an orchestra box in front
the listener at the same time as providing the acoustic positioning and feeling of presence
on the stage. The surround sound field is relatively moderate, but the data for concert hall
effects are used to represent the inherent beauty of music. The listener will not be fatigued
even after long hours of opera entertainment.
Standard
This program creates a sound field that emphasizes the surround feeling without disturbing
the original acoustic positioning of multichannel audio. Its design is based on the concept of
the ideal movie theater, in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations
from the left, right, and rear.
Spectacle
This program delivers the scale and grandeur of spectacular movie productions. It delivers
an expansive sound space to match the cinemascope wide-screen, and boasts a broad
dynamic range, providing everything from small delicate sounds to powerful loud booms.
Sci-Fi
This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest Sci-Fi and
SFX movies. You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces
reproduced with clear separation between dialogue, sound effects, and background music.
Adventure
This program is ideal for reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies
precisely. The sound field restrains reverberations, but puts emphasis on reproducing a
sensation of expansiveness on both sides, powerful space expanded widely to the left and
right. The restrained depth creates a clear and powerful space, while also maintaining the
articulation of the sounds and the separation of the channels.
Drama
This program features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres, from
serious dramas to musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest, but suitably
stereophonic. The sound effects and background music are reproduced with a gentle echo
that does not impinge on the articulation of the dialogue. You’ll never get tired listening for
long periods.
Mono Movie
This program reproduces monaural video sources, such as classic movies, in an atmosphere
of a good old movie theater. The program creates a pleasant space with depth, by adding
breadth and the appropriate reverberation to the original audio.
Enhanced
This program creates a sound field that emphasizes the dynamic sound transition of 3D
object audio. Its design is based on the concept of a movie theater with multi-top speakers,
in which the audience is overwhelmed by the natural and powerful sound effects.
STEREO
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).
