Adjustment
There are two separate Analogue Signal Processing (ASP) matrix circuits that switch automatically between headphone and
loudspeaker use.
Note: XSpace Holographic for Headphones is not based on a standard cross-feed system, as found in some high-end headphone ampliers. Many
so called '3D systems' are usually DSP based. This articially eects the sound and adds unwanted reverb in order to simulate a spacious type of
sound.
For Headphones: (Headphone Outputs)
XSpace Holographic for Headphones® is an analogue matrix to ‘undo’ the negative sonic impact of headphone listening with
recordings that were originally made for loudspeakers (as is the case for >95% of recordings). When listening with
headphones this ‘In Head Localisation’ (sound is ‘located’ in the centre of one’s head) can often lead to listening fatigue and
possibly even a little nausea.

OFF: XSpace Holographic is disabled This allows the 'direct' sound to be enjoyed.
30˚ Loudspeaker Angle: This matrix simulates a narrow loudspeaker placement (e.g. loudspeakers either side of a large
computer monitor) and can also be used for recordings that have been articially enhanced for spaciousness or early
'Ping-Pong' type stereo recordings.
60˚ Loudspeaker Angle: This matrix simulates traditional 'textbook' loudspeaker placement in an equilateral triangle.
90˚ Loudspeaker Angle: This matrix simulates a wide loudspeaker placement favoured by some audiophiles. It may also
be used to enhance recordings that lack spaciousness (some minimalist 'single point' recordings fall into this group).
