Experience sonic wizardry brought to life through the collaborative efforts of Legacy's Chief Engineer, Bill Dudleston, and Bernt Böhmer of Böhmer Audio, Sweden. Dudleston's 34 years of expertise in sound field reconstruction, combined with Böhmer's acclaimed mathematical algorithms, have given birth to the extraordinary Wavelet processor. This groundbreaking technology addresses room resonances and digital harshness, while the innovative Stereo Unfold unveils hidden layers of spatial and harmonic cues lost in traditional playback.

The Valor system revolutionizes acoustic steering by ensuring precise representation of lateral and vertical information in the time domain. Through a two-stage process, the Room Correction algorithm eliminates unwanted early reflections from floors, ceilings, and walls, enabling the Stereo Unfold algorithm to restore the encoded vectors in the L/R information. The result is an enhanced sound experience with remarkable depth, openness, and spaciousness. Each performer occupies their distinct dimensional space, localization is more precise, and the timbre exudes richness—exemplified by the resonant reed and bell characteristics of a saxophone. Feel the air accelerate as the hi-hat pedal pumps, brushes gracefully circle the snare head, and the floor tom resounds with lively bounce. Vocals and stringed instruments emanate natural harmonics that surpass the limits of traditional stereo playback. Prepare to be astounded by the remarkable placement of sound images.
