Acoustic field enhancement for performance spaces, reads the venue's natural reverberation signature and uses additional speaker channels to enrich and extend it, adding warmth and spatial depth to any performance without physical acoustic treatment.
Sound xR Enhance analyses a venue's existing acoustic response, its natural room reflections and reverberation characteristics, and then reproduces and extends those characteristics through additional speaker channels. The result is a richer, more enveloping acoustic environment that feels natural rather than electronically processed.
Unlike physical acoustic treatment or simple reverb effects, Sound xR Enhance works with the room's own acoustic character. It is particularly effective in multipurpose venues that need to adapt from spoken-word use to music performance without physical reconfiguration. The solution runs as a software licence on Yamaha's DME7 Digital Mixing Engine. Previously marketed as Yamaha AFC Enhance.
The system measures the room, models its acoustic character, then uses additional speakers to reproduce and extend that character in real time.
Room acoustic response measured via reference microphones
DME7 with Sound xR Enhance licence models the venue's reverberation character
System reproduces and extends the room's natural reverberation via additional speakers
Richer, more enveloping acoustic environment, natural, not processed
Sound xR Enhance excels in spaces that need acoustic flexibility or where physical renovation is impractical.
Extend and enrich reverberation for orchestral and acoustic performances, controllable without altering the room.
Switch between speech and music acoustic profiles without physical reconfiguration.
Control excessive reverberation for speech clarity while enhancing it for choral and organ music.
Tailor acoustic character to each production without permanent construction.
Sound xR Enhance runs as a software licence on the Yamaha DME7, which provides all DSP processing and Dante networking for the enhancement system.
