This is EVEN more prevalent with a one-box solution such as the Aurora as all similar one-box products sound
like a mono source because they are….a mono source.
Therefore, the Aurora has built-in 'Auto Room Tailoring' (ART ). Once the unit has been placed in the desired
location, all the listener needs to do is to press the 'ART' button on the front panel. Using its rear, left and right
ultrasonic sensors, the Aurora will automatically set itself up and, after a few seconds, will be ready to play
music that lls the room with the spaciousness akin to using a pair of stereo speakers.
How ART works
1) Using the six ultrasonic sensors, it measures the distance to the walls using ultrasound. The distance
affects the low frequency response of the speaker and also our 3D room sound system.
2) It then applies frequency response corrections and adjustment to the 3D system based upon the
distances measured.
3) Result - consistent realistic sound and a truly spacious sound eld with widely varying placement and no
damage wrought by over use of DSP (Digital Sound Processing) as all of this is done in the analogue
domain.
Why room correction? Because the room is always the 'nal component' in
the audio chain. The same system will have a different sonic signature if
placed along a room compared to if it was placed across a room. This is
mainly due to the sound waves 'reecting' differently and this impacts what
we hear. For maximum musical enjoyment, we need well thought out room
correction for any audio system.
