Features
A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect.
Pronounced reflections from all directions emphasize
the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great
deal of presence, and your virtual seat is near the
center, close to the stage.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a
big church with a high dome and columns along each
side. The reverberation delay is very long while the
early reflections are smaller than with other sound
field programs.
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom
Line”, a famous New York jazz club. The floor can
seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field
offering a real and vibrant sound.
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music.
The data for this program was recorded at LA’s
“hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the
center-left of the hall.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a
lively disco in the heart of a big city. The sound is
dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized
by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.
Using this program increases the listening position
range. This is a sound field suitable for background
music at parties.
This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video
game sounds.
This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere
and lets you feel as if you are at an actual jazz or rock
concert.
This program is provided for reproducing monaural
video sources (such as old movies). The program
produces the optimum reverberation to create sound
depth using only the presence sound field.
Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow,
the surround sound field employs the sound
environment of a large concert hall. With this
program, you can enjoy watching various TV
programs such as news, variety shows, music
programs or sports programs.
