About S-Force PRO Front
Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic
data accumulated as a result) has led to the
development of an all-new processing method
and advanced DSP to handle this task
effectively, and which we call S-Force PRO
Front Surround. Compared with previous front
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front
Surround reproduces a more convincing sense of
distance and space, resulting in a true surround
sound experience without the need for rear
speakers.
