The Bongiovi V3D headphone algorithm projects a stereo media source into virtual space around the user’s head. Learn more about “Virtual 7.1” here. This algorithm is controlled using a set of presets that represent different virtual speaker arrangements. These presets offer a variety of user experiences:
- Wide Normal – This represents a good default virtual speaker arrangement that works well with gaming on standard size monitors.
- Wide Expanded – Similar to Wide Normal with more extension toward the sides and rear of the user. Better for gaming on wide monitors.
- Middle Clarity – Keeps the sound field toward the front of the user for less distraction of side-channel content.
- Middle Expanded – A blended sound field that creates a subdued sound cloud in front of the user. Good for quiet therapeutic applications where side-channel content may be distracting.
- Mono – Left and Right channels are simply summed together. No special effects are applied.
- Surround Enhance – A blended sound field with a wide, yet loosely defined image. Good for older movies and retro gaming.
- Surround Max – A widest possible sound field that reaches slightly behind the user.
The “Wide” and “Surround” presets create virtual rear channel effects for gaming applications.
- The slider below the preset menu is used for experimentation in local tuning mode only.
