Customized to you

MCACC auto room tuning uses a custom microphone to automatically compensate for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response, so you get the even sound you’re supposed to.

Additional features

DTS:X

Can automatically adapt the audio to the existing channels and speaker system, so no specific speaker layout is required.

DTS Virtual:X
