Old News but Still Cool - Pioneer PDSP1

PDSP
The Pioneer PDSP-1 was first mentioned a number of years ago. I never noticed it back then in 2002, but I did recently and thought it was worth writing about due to the different approach to a speaker system that it has.

The PDSP-1 was a way of integrating surround sound in to your home which reproduced multi channel sound via the 1 speaker panel. To do this it has 254 individual speaker units which it uses to bounce sound of walls and give the effect that sounds are coming from behind you and all around you for that fact. 7 beams of sound are created which can be adjusted, focused or made wider depending on the room size and shape you have. It uses Dolby Digital and DTS decoders and digital amplifiers to create a clear sound.
