Owner’s Manual

What Are ADD-ON EFFECTS?

ADD-ON EFFECTS are software packages that install additional high-quality effects programs on digital consoles.

What is Room ER?

Room ER is one of the effects programs that can be used as ADD-ON EFFECTS. It simulates the change in a room’s reﬂected sound that occurs as a monaural sound source or the listening point moves around. You can set things like the path of movement and the size of the room, and thereby change the volume, orientation, and sound.

What is the Interactive Spatial Sound Processor (iSSP)?

iSSP is a technology that combines two components. The ﬁrst is a geometric sound simulator that attenuates sound according to an estimate of the sound reﬂection that results from the shape of a room. The simulation considers the direction of the sound source and the room’s surface materials when determining the sound. The second is multi-channel signal processor technology that uses information about the position of the sound source to perform distance attenuation based on the balance and delay/ ﬁlter for each output channel. iSSP technology is used in Room ER.
