mainly affect the sound pressure at the position of the listener and also the balance
between direct sound and reflections.
Please note that this parameter will directly affect the volume of the reproduced audio
material. The larger the room and the greater the distance of the loudspeakers will lower
the volume. With large distances you will probably have to compensate the low sound
pressure by increasing the volume in the "Volume" menu.
– Ambience
The "Ambience" parameter basically controls how much colouration your room should add
to your audio material - in other words: if you want the acoustics of your room to be "dry"
or really "wet". You should be aware of the fact that in reality the room sound has quite a
big influence on your spatial impression and also on the sound of your loudspeakers. For
this reason very low "Ambience" settings tend to be slightly unrealistic, because your
virtual room is turned into an anechoic chamber.
Note: Please note that the parameters for the room settings are interactive! For instance,
when setting the "Room Size" parameter to "0", the virtual speakers will be "nailed" to
your ears and you will obviously not hear any difference when adapting the "Ambience"
parameter of your room. Likewise, if you turn "Ambience" to "0" (which simulates an
anechoic chamber), high "Room Size" settings will influence the volume, but not the
reflections in your virtual living room, as there are no reflections in an anechoic chamber.
– Headtracker (only Headzone
The "Headtracker" parameter only provides a display function. You cannot set anything.
After having selected the "Headtracker" parameter, the "Value" LEDs
indicate the current head angle in an area of ±60°. Flashing "Value" LEDs
you are out of the range of the head tracker. For more information about the function
and the coverage of the head tracker, please refer to chapter 10. "How to use the head
tracker". The centre "Value" LED
normally where you have placed the HR 1 head tracking receiver. Press the "Reset"
button of the head tracker on the DT 880 HT headphone (refer to chapter 7. "DT 880 HT
headphone with head tracker") to define a new 0° position. Afterwards, the centre "Value"
LED will indicate the position where you have pressed the "Reset" button.
Note: If the head tracker of your Headzone
switch is set to the "Off" position), you cannot select the "Headtracker" menu item.
How to activate / deactivate the head tracking function

function by switching the On / Off switch
the head tracker is permanently set to 0°.

"Headtracker" cannot be selected any more.
• To avoid sound changes due to small head movements when setting the "Room Size" and
"Ambience" parameters, we recommend switching off the head tracker (set the "Headtracker"
On/Off switch to the "Off" position), set the parameters and then switch on the head
tracker again (set the Headtracker On/Off switch
