How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode About Sound Adjustment Mode This deck is equipped with two different sound adjustment modes: normal mode and Pro mode. In normal mode, the acoustic characteristics inside the vehicle can be adjusted using comparatively simple settings. In addition, it corresponds to basic sound systems which comprise front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer.
Various Settings Parametric equaliser A variety of materials are used inside a vehicle to manufacture the seats and windows, and because these materials absorb and reflect sound in different ways, the parametric equaliser lets you adjust the peaks and dips of the frequency characteristics inside the vehicle to compensate for this. Peak High [Sound pressure] Dip Low Low [Frequency] High An "equaliser" is a function that corrects these peaks and dips in order to flatten the frequency characteristics.
How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode Time Alignment With vehicle audio systems, the installation position of the speakers and the position of the listener mean that the distances from the listener to the left and right speakers are almost always different. These differences in the distance from the listener to each speaker in turn means that the time taken for the sound to reach the listener is different for each speaker.
Various Settings -3dB Bass range 20Hz Mid range fc1(LPF) fc2(HPF) Treble range fc3(LPF) fc4(HPF) 20kHz fc*: Cutoff frequency For example, when adjusting the HPF, frequencies that are lower than the specified frequency are progressively dampened, rather than simply not being played back at all. The "slope" adjustment function is the function that is used to adjust these dampening characteristics.
How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode Multi-harmonizer When original sounds are converted to MP3/WMA and Memory Stick (ATRAC3) format, frequency ranges that are not normally audible to the human ear are compressed. The multi-harmonizer can be used to play back these compressed sounds at as close to their original form as possible so that clear and powerful sound can be enjoyed.
