SHS Mode

Spacial Headphone Sound (SHS) is a special feature of the CA17 digital piano that enhances the depth and
realism of the acoustic piano sound when listening through headphones or earphones.

The SHS Mode setting allows the player to select from one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the
spacial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or
headphones for extended periods of time.

* This setting does not affect the speaker sound.
