Capcom Q-sound Vs no Q-sound

Qsound is processed on the CPS2 motherboard... You can output to any amp you want. They stipulate the "Q-Sound" cabinet simply for branding purposes.

I am 99.99% sure of this. I've run a CPS2 on a standard Dynamo cabinet through a standard amp without any issue what so ever and it sounded much nicer than the mono JAMMA output... and in stereo (of course).

EDIT: Here is a Q-Sound amp. As you can see... it's a simple amp. There isn't even an IC on the thing to process anything. It's an amp...


Yes, seeing the board seals the deal, it's just a cheap amplifier. The ones I installed for conversion kits were better quality.
 
Other games like Sonic Adventure were encoded in Q-sound as well....since obviously the Dreamcast doesn't have any Q-sound stuff in it..how does that work?
 
Semi related question. I have a Q-sound big blue cabinet, and both speakers work fine. On one of the boards I recently bought (SF3 3rd strike), one of the audio outputs only a buzzing sound. So no matter which wire I plug in, that output will always give a buzz, where the other gives the game sound.

Any things I should try to get this to work?

Audio can be recorded using Qsound processing. So that's what they did. You're hearing audio that was made using Qsound technology. Even Michael Jackson and Madonna released some music that was produced using Q sound.

If you were to record any audio using your Sanwa processor you could legitimately say it's a Qsound audio recording. And that recording will have Qsound on any audio device you play it on. Try it!
