HI-FI DSP-SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
CONCERT HALL 1
■ Europe Hall A
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 walls, and sound spreads finely
and beautifully.
■ Europe Hall B
This is a large shoe-box type concert hall
with less than 2400 seats located in
Frankfurt. This hall has a very solid,
powerful sound. The listener’s virtual seat
is in the center-right section on the first
floor.
■ Europe Hall C
A classic shoe-box type concert hall with
approximately 1700 seats. Pillars and
ornate carvings create extremely complex
reflections which produce a very full, rich
sound.
CONCERT HALL 2
■ U.S.A. Hall D
This is a large 2600 seat concert hall in the
United States which features a fairly
traditional European design. The interior is
relatively simple, in the American style.
The middle and high frequencies are richly
and beautifully reinforced.
■ Europe Hall E
This is a large 2200 seat shoe-box type
concert hall in Amsterdam. It has a circular
stage with seats located behind the stage.
■ Live Concert
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.
CHURCH
■ Tokyo
The acoustic environment of an ordinary
church with moderate reverberations. The
reverberation lasts 2.5 seconds. This is ideal
for reproducing church organ and choral
music.
■ Freiburg
This program recreates the acoustic
environment of a big church located in
south Germany. The reverberation delay is
very long while the early reflections are
smaller than with other sound field
programs.
■ Royaumont
This program features the sound field
created by the refectory (dining hall) of a
beautiful medieval Gothic monastery
located in Royaumont on the outskirts of
Paris.
JAZZ CLUB
■ Village Gate
This is the sound field at a jazz club in New
York. It is in a basement and has a
relatively spacious floor area. The listener’s
virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
■ Village Vanguard
A traditional jazz club in New York, located
on 7th Avenue. This room has a low ceiling,
and the “stage” is located in a corner. This
program creates an intimate “close-to-the
music” feel.
■ The Bottom Line
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.
ROCK CONCERT
■ Roxy Theatre
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.
■ Warehouse Loft
This program simulates a space enclosed by
concrete. An energetic sound field is
created with relatively clear reflections
from the walls.
■ Arena
A classic shoe-box type concert hall. This
program gives you long delays between
direct sounds and effect sounds, with the
extraordinarily spacious feel of a large
arena.
ENTERTAINMENT
■ Disco
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.
■ Party
This is a sound field suitable for back-
ground music at parties where you can hear
the sound directly from the rear as well,
thus realizing music enjoyment over a wide
area.
■ 8ch Stereo
This is a sound field suitable for back-
ground music at parties where you can hear
the sound directly from the rear as well.
The number of speakers to output depends
on “1 SPEAKER SET” in SET MENU.
