Hall in Munich A
This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats in
Munich, using stylish wood for the interior finishing as normal standards for
European concert halls. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly,
creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center
left of the arena.
Hall in Munich B
This hall is frequently used for recording orchestral music, and is a
shoe-box type concert hall with around 1300 seats. The hall is constructed
from marble, resulting in relatively flat resonance. Further, the high ceiling
causes sound to reverberate for longer than usual.
Hall in Frankfurt
This is a large shoe-box type concert hall with around 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.
Hall in Stuttgart
This is a large asymmetrical concert hall with around 2000 seats located in
downtown Stuttgart. Sound reflected off the concrete wall located to the left
of listeners has a powerful presence.
Hall in Vienna
This program simulates a 1,700-seat, middle-sized concert hall with a
shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings
create extremely complex reverberations from all around the audience,
producing a very full, rich sound.
Hall in Amsterdam
The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2,200 around the circle stage.
Reflections are rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.
Hall in USA A
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.
Hall in USA B
This spacious arch-shaped hall has a dome ceiling and can seat 2600. The
ample resonance apparent in the sound is a feature brought about by
longer than average period of reverberation. In addition to this, the reflector
suspended above the stage allows listeners to experience rich sound from
the direction of the stage.
Church in 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.
Church in Freiburg
Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a
pointed tower at 120 meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the
high ceiling enable the elongated reverberation time and limited initial
reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather than the sound itself
reproduces the atmosphere of the church.
Church in
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.
Chamber
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling, like an
audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable
for courtly music and chamber music.
Village Gate
This is the sound field at a jazz club that was 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
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low
ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in
the center.
Warehouse Loft
The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the
concrete walls clearly with a lot of energy.
Cellar Club
This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and
homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds
that make you feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small
stage.
The Roxy Theatre
This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert
venue in Los Angeles. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the
hall.
The Bottom Line
This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a
famous New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left
and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
Arena
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect
sounds, with the extraordinarily spacious feel of a large arena.
2ch Stereo
Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When
multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and
output from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).
11ch Stereo
Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back
multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and
then outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger
sound field and is ideal for background music at parties.
