General Comments Regarding Connectivity
As there are now so many different types of TV available, all with differing connectivity options, we have provided as many
different digital and analogue connection options as possible.
The generally held view is to utilise the HDMI digital connections in order to gain the best performance. HDMI is now used on many
different audio-visual devices and you will find this connection on TVs, set-top boxes, Blu-Ray DVD players, etc.
Please note that for the very best Bluetooth aptX results, your source unit should transmit audio using this advanced codec. Not to
worry if it doesn’t have aptX – it will still work but the audio quality will be equivalent to standard Bluetooth instead.
There are people who believe that the analogue connections should be used for a more ‘life-like’ or ‘warmer’ sound. Again, we
don’t have any strong views on this and would only suggest that you try out the connections available for your different source
units and whatever sounds best to you is the correct one to use.
3 Sound Modes - Movie, Music & News
The Roth Audio / Sonic Emotion 3D sound processor uses a combination of spatial analysis, wave field synthesis, physical acoustic
modeling and psycho-acoustic treatment to produce an enjoyable and exciting 3D sound-image.
We have worked hard to provide three audio settings that we believe should make the source material to which you are listening
vibrant and full of energy.
Movie
This programme allows for a broad soundstage so that movie effects are clearly audible and speech is clear and precise. There is
a degree of bass extension here so that you can feel some of the low end rumble and excitement that you would experience in a
Cinema.
Music
For this preset, great care has been taken to present a soundstage in line with the original recording mix, with most of the audio
feed coming from around the Roth NEO 6.2 SoundCore itself and just a little programming so that you can identify where each
artist is sitting on the stage or in the recording studio. Choose your favourite piece of music, close your eyes and the sound should
be similar to the traditional 2-channel listening experience. It should sound like you have a large loudspeaker to the left and to the
right of your TV, with an articulate, detailed and balanced tonal reproduction across all frequencies.
News
This programme has been tuned to emphasise the mid and high frequencies that are associated with speech, with a commensurate
reduction in the reproduction of lower frequencies. The soundstage has been narrowed and ambient audio reduced, so that from
a listening perspective, everything you hear sounds as if it is coming straight out of the front of the Roth NEO 6.2 SoundCore. This
therefore sounds similar to how a centre channel speaker from a 5.1 system would sound if all the other speakers were turned off –
very focused, defined speech reproduction.
