Audyssey in your Home Theater

January 11th, 2010 by Rachel Plut

Have you felt the rush of excitement watching a show at a world-class movie theater?  Do you want the same experience at home?  Thanks to Audyssey, led by Prof. Tomlinson Holman (an Academy Award winner for his work developing THX at Lucasfilm Ltd), now you can.  Select Denon, Marantz and Onkyo receivers featuring this cool technology are available at OneCall.


Audyssey attributes include:

MultEQ overcomes acoustical problems using information captured at multiple locations throughout your listening area to correct for both time and frequency response problems. The result is clear, well-balanced sound.

Dynamic EQ enables rich, full sound at any volume level by taking into account human perception. It makes moment-by-moment adjustments to make sure that the bass response, tonal balance and soundstage remain constant despite changes in volume.

Dynamic Volume solves the problem of variations in level when switching from channel to channel, between the soft and loud passages within a movie, or during a loud commercial. It allows you to set the dialog level you prefer and then it maintains a consistent level for all content.

Dynamic Surround Expansion (Audyssey DSX) is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve surround impression. Audyssey DSX first adds Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment and then creates Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues. Surround Envelopment Processing is used to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels.
