Description
High Definition
recording has only been possible in the last couple of years. These
recordings provide a more natural listening experience, very close to
live. They contain low levels of distortion, more accurate
representation of the sound waves, providing a rich, fulfilling
listening experience with greater clarity than our earlier 16-bit
recordings. What you hear is more clear high frequencies, authentic
timbre in low frequencies, greater definition of individual notes, and
spatial details unlike you have ever heard! This provides more new
opportunities for developing TLP than ever thought possible.
The combination of
ABT Music HD recordings coupled with ABT's Spatial Stereo™ mastering
process takes TLP speaker delivery to a new level of quality,
enjoyment, and effectiveness.
Music
FS Prelude contains
ABT Music HD 24-bit 192 kHz recordings of Vivaldi Concertos, Mozart
Symphonies, Haydn Quartets, and others with strings and woodwinds.
These recordings have been simplified using numerous psychoacoustic
treatments to make them easier for the listener to attend to the
individual instrumental "voices". These simplifications provide an
opportunity for the listener to better understand what is taking place
within the compositions making them easier to listen to and
sequentially process. The compositions by these great masters and the
performances by the Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble are energetic, vivid
and joyous.
Auditory Processing Skills
One of the auditory
processing skills we focus on training in FS Prelude is
auditory figure ground- the ability to focus on foreground sound such
as
a conversation, while filtering out distracting background noise. For
many
people trying to listen to speech when competing sounds are present is
a
source of stress and frustration, whether in the classroom, work place,
or
public places such as a restaurant. Full Spectrum Prelude is a tool
which
can be used to train this ability. While auditory figure ground is a
vital
skill for understanding language, to hold auditory attention and
concentrate,
it is also an essential skill in our ability to process, understand and
enjoy music.
If an auditory scene
or piece of music is too complex for our auditory system to process, we
can become stressed and shut down to varying degrees. FS
Prelude gives the listener an opportunity to hear the instrumental
voices
separate at times, and at varying volume levels, that makes it easier
to
attend or focus to one instrumental voice then another. Instruments are
individually brought to the foreground then move gradually into the
background
shifting auditory attention in subtle but significant ways. This sets a
foundation for auditory processing that allows future listening to be
more
effective. Full Spectrum Prelude trains not only our ability to perform
an auditory scene analysis and the auditory figure ground skill but
also
selective auditory attention, pitch discrimination, amplitude
perception,
sound localization, frequency perception, and temporal processing.
Listening to FS
Prelude trains auditory processing in ways that are of equal benefit to
the beginning or experienced listener. Rather than using filtration
which can be initially uncomfortable for some, the natural frequency
contrasts of the individual instruments provides a unique, engaging,
and comfortable listening experience.
The only difference
between Prelude 1 and Prelude 2 is the music selection -- two CDs with
similar components and objectives allow for a greater musical variety. To learn more about
