Q: You mentioned 42 speakers in a single component, aren't you just playing the "number's game"?
A: No. Digital Sound Projector does not merely utilize 42 speakers, but 42 speakers individually powered by 42 individual digital amplifiers and individually controlled by a special DSP chip. They are not 42 speakers sending out the same signal, but 42 speakers sending 42 different signals to achieve true multi-channel surround-sound enjoyment from a single component.
Q: Do I need a subwoofer for the Digital Sound Projector?
A: Although it is not mandatory, just like any other home theatre setup, to achieve a low, rumbling bass, a subwoofer is always highly recommended.
Q: Will this technology actually work?
A: Like any home theatre setup, it depends on the size, shape and the acoustic of your room, more so it also depends on the source material you are using. If you are using a mono signal, there is no way you can get a true surround sound environment.
