Sound customisation

The built-in DSP offers sound processing and time alignment—down to a remarkable 1 cm for each of the five addressable channels (four speakers and subwoofer via pre-out). A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, and with the three-zone crossover, you can arrange the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.
