Listening to game audio in virtual surround
Roland’s unique three-dimensional acoustic technology lets you listen in virtual surround sound to the 5.1 ch/7.1 ch audio signal that’s input from the USB port (input source: GAME (SPEAKER)) when using headphones.
This lets you experience a spacious stereo image that goes beyond the base-level stereo image, even with headphones.
