AIWAS FRONT SURROUND SPEAKERS SYSTEM
(NSX-A31 only)
Inside the speaker cabinet, the rear speaker section is
directed outward at an angle of 35” and upward at an angle
of 9“. Since the sound moves in three directions, aslightly
delay occurs between the sound reflecting off the wall of the
room and the direct sound. This effectively produces surround
sound effects from behind the listener. Using the DSP
SURROUND system, this system effectively produces a
broad sound presence without having to connect’optional
surround speakers.
