due to the acoustic characteristics of the room and audio
system, etc., and the acoustic standing waves may
interrupt the accurate reproduction of the source sound
and distort the characteristics of the sound produced by
this unit. This unit reduces the effects of the standing
waves in the listening with the specially customized
parametric equalizer.
