Definition of Terms Extended Pseudo Stereo (EPS) The Incredible Mono module (I-Mono) generates two channels from one mono input signal. When the sound of the mono input signal is processed, the listener gets the impression that the sound is essentially a stereo signal. Extended Spatial Stereo (ESS) The listener gets the impression of a sound reproduced by two virtual speakers, positioned at a larger distance between each other than between the actual speakers.
