Dsp

DSP, also known as "Digital Signal Processing" or "Digital Soundfield Processing," describes a spectrum of systems that attempt to recreate the sonic characteristics of a live venue. This often involves the use of artificial echoes, reverberations and the alteration of various audio frequencies. DSP modes are common on many home theater receivers, amplifiers and processors, working with varying degrees of success. Common DSP settings include 'Hall', 'Stadium', 'Jazz Club', and 'Theater'. Although capable of producing interesting results, few DSP systems recreate live venues with any accuracy. Some listeners enjoy DSP modes, but most audiophiles prefer regular stereo, Dolby Digital, DTS or Pro Logic.
