The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of
these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields were recorded at actual
locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
Note
The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are
listening in. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

FEATURE

This is a large fan-shaped concert hall in Munich which has approximately
2500 seats. Almost the whole interior is made of wood. There is relatively
little reflection from the right and left walls, and sounds spread finely and
beautifully.

A classic shoe-box type concert hall with approximately 1700 seats. Pillars
and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections. Those
reflections and the reflections from all directions of the hall produce a very
full, rich sound.

This is a large 2600-seat concert hall in the United States which features a
fairly traditional European design. The interior is relatively simple,
suggesting an American taste. Sound of the middle and high frequencies
are richly and beautifully reproduced.

A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections
from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. You will experience
the sound field with a great deal of presence sitting at about the center
position near the stage.
This sound field is also effective for karaoke. This is because you feel as if
you are standing on a real stage.

Recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high pointed dome
and columns along the sides. This interior produces very long reverberations.

This program features a sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of
the monastery, a beautiful medieval Gothic structure located in Royaumont on
the outskirts of Paris. The dome-like spaces in the ceiling formed by the
supporting pillars cause reverberations to echo and create a beautiful,
lingering tone.
