    Yamaha sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections.

  • Page 103: Recreating A Sound Field

    The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound field. Yamaha’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data. The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.

    Caution • The sound field programs for this unit are designed based upon the detailed information that Yamaha sound engineers have collected by measuring the sound effect characteristics at the actual concert halls and music venues all over the world. Therefore you may find some difference in reverberation and volume of the sounds that are output from each of your speakers.

    CONCERT HALL 1 I 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.

    DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in your listening room. Not all of the following parameters are found in every program. I EFCT TRIM (Effect Trim) Function This parameter adjusts the level of all the effect sounds within a narrow range.
  • Page 113 I LIVENESS Function This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. Control range 0 – 10 Description The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
  • Page 114 DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS I S. DELAY (Surround Delay) Function This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround sound field. Control range 0 – 49 ms (The range depends on the signal format.) Description When Dolby Digital signals are decoded: the larger the parameter, the later the surround sound source begins.
  • Page 115 I REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Function This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Control range 1.0 –...
