SH-3045
Commentary

A headphone ambience controller that enables the same natural music playback as when listening to speakers in a listening room when using headphones.

By mixing in the indirect sound component due to room reflection, which was lacking in the case of listening through conventional headphones, the reproduction sound with natural sense of distance and direction is realized.

Equipped with an impedance switch on the rear panel, you can enjoy more natural playback sound simply by adjusting the impedance of your headphones.

Equipped with an ambience control knob which can freely change the amount of indirect sound component, it can give the appropriate distance feeling to the sound reproduced from the headphone.
The center of the knob is the standard position. Turning the knob in the MAX direction adds a sense of spaciousness and enhances the sense of presence. Turning the knob in the MIN direction is the same as listening to a conventional 2-channel stereo.

Equipped with an Ambience ON/OFF switch, it is possible to compare and listen to the existing headphone using condition.
