Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid

or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume

level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is

integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is

adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,

surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether

watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing

from stereo to surround sound content.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ solves the problem of deteriorating sound

incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room,

a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey

Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ XT to provide

well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
