"...plug in the ADP-2 processor and the whole
experience is dramatically lifted, with a huge increase in scale,
authority, instrumental weight and warmth and overall space. In
fact, the volume control on the Dynavector acts as almost a
'bloom' button. Turn it up from zero and you'll hear the
soundstage swell in front of you, gaining width, height and whole
layers of depth...You'll be hearing much, much more on this
subject. Count on it."
Roy Gregory, Hi-Fi +, July 2002
"...extraordinarily convincing in the way it simulates a
generous and spacious acoustic without in any way interfering
with the front soundstage or the musical precision...simply
sounds more natural and right than regular two-channel
stereo..."
Paul Messenger, Hi-Fi Choice, March-April 2002
"Capable of remarkably good results which can leave
conventional two speaker stereo sounding flat and two
dimensional"
"Can provide a sense of realism beyond the usual
expectations"
"With the Adp-2 switched-in one has an impression of being
surrounded by the acoustic, whereas in plain two-channel stereo
the vantage point is less engaging: a much less good seat looking
in on the house"
Ivor Humphreys Hi-Fi News & Record Review, London,
April, 2000
"Indispensable for listening to music"
H Sugano, Senior Editor, Stereo Sound Tokyo, Autumn 1998
However much you spend, it is theoretically impossible for a two channel conventional stereo system to get close to the original live sound. But with modest expenditure on Dynavector's new SuperStereo Adp-2 processor and two small rear speakers, you can transform your system. Adp-2 is not surround sound, but a completely new development.
The Dynavector Company of Japan, well known to music lovers and audio enthusiasts throughout the world for its moving coil cartridges, announces the launch of a new system of music reproduction, SuperStereo. The new SuperStereo audio processor is now available in Europe by mail order (please see below) and is designed to recreate real music from the playback of recorded and broadcast sound.
Because of the limitations inherent in conventional 2-channel stereo systems, the music which they reproduce, regardless of its scale or quality, lack the sound of the original performance. There is a missing link which has been the greatest problem affecting sound reproduction; the enormous gap between live and reproduced sound has become an accepted fact. At present, the major trend in audio technology is the development of equipment using sophisticated digital technology and advanced materials. Despite this trend, a serious gap still exists.
During the past ten years, Dynavector has reconsidered these trends and has reached the conclusion that wave propagation problems in an enclosed space - such as a concert hall, studio or listening room - cannot properly be dealt with by conventional vibration theory and geometric acoustics. In other words, the problems cannot be dealt with by Fourier Analysis.
The problems involved and the difficulties relating to sound reproduction are clearly suggested by Frank S Crawford Jr. in his book Berkeley Physics Course Vol 3 "Waves". From a careful study of this text, we may conclude that when sound is propagated in an enclosed space, "beats" of various frequencies develop; thus, without a proper understanding of the properties of beats, further progress in the audio industry cannot be expected.
In the course of its research into the development of the SuperStereo processor, Dynavector discovered that conventional thinking based on Fourier and Laplace transforms has lead to an overdependence on the frequency response, distortion, sound pressure distribution and directionality data of loudspeakers. Dynavector concludes that these are not the best indices for understanding phenomena taking place when music is played in a concert hall or a recording studio and that a correct understanding of wave theory is essential for successful audio development.
Brings out the scale, emotion and
excitement of recorded and broadcast music through restoration of
hall acoustics.
Transforms the sound of a stereo
or audio visual system.
Easy to install and simple to
operate.
Two small rear speakers are the
only extras needed; processor has own internal amplifier for rear
channels.
SuperStereo improves musical
quality and enjoyment of mono, old and poorly recorded material.
SuperStereo is the most cost
effective up-grade to any stereo system.
