x About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three elements.
Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding
the listener from a single pair of actual
surround speakers.
Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theatre, sound seems to come from
inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This element creates the same sensation in
your listening room by shifting the sound of
the front speakers “into” the screen.
Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a
movie theatre. Cinema Studio EX is the
integrated mode which operates these
elements simultaneously.
Notes
• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise
in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual
speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound
coming directly from the surround speakers.
