Cautions when using RSS
In order for RSS to be as effective as possible, note
the following points.
• Acoustically “dead” rooms are most suitable.
• Single-way speakers are most suitable. However,
coaxial or virtual coaxial multi-way speakers are
also OK.
• The speakers should be distanced from the side
walls as far as possible.
• Do not excessively separate the speakers to left
and right.
• Monitor in the sweet spot shown below.

Product package notice for when RSS is used
RSS is an effect that places a sound source in a
three-dimensional space when played back on a
conventional stereo system. In order for the full
RSS effect to be obtained, it is important to specify
details of the listening environment. If a song using
an RSS Patch is commercially released, we suggest
placing the following notice on the package.

For Stereo Speakers
Less reflections from the wall
or floor are better.
Speaker should be placed
as far away as possible from
the wall or floor.
If a hard wall is close to it,
draw a curtain.
This sound is made to be played specifically through speakers.
The proper effect cannot be obtained if listened to through headphones.
