AKG Acoustics surround headphones - Manual (Page 8)

Wireless eight-channel surround headphone system.
Going to the movies.
Going to the movies now means cuddling up on your sofa and
putting on your favorite DVD. All you need is a HEARO – no ex-
tra decoder, no extra loudspeakers, no extra cables.
Take some time to enjoy IVA processing . The sound won’t seem
to come from your headphones but from where the loudspeak-
ers would normally sit. You will hear details you’ve never heard
before.
Now switch in one of the surround decoders. Select Dolby
Surround Pro-Logic and experience the typical surround sound
from four directions. Or enjoy the full eight channels of the LOGIC7
decoder from high-end audio equipment manufacturer LEXICON.
You will feel as if you were at the movies. The XXL speakers with
patented AKG Varimotion diaphragms provide powerful sound
and ensure accurate reproduction even at high volume levels. This
feature has made HEARO Family headphones very popular with
hi-fi enthusiasts, too.
For technical explanations, see page 14.
