Battery powered solid state amplification has made possible integrated portable sound reinforcement systems which are installed and controlled by the talker. Because such systems are, by nature, -central loudspeaker systems,- naturalness-or the listener's illusion of no reinforcement-is enhanced.

Since the listener is conditioned to expect this difference, a system designed to accommodate this expectation will sound natural.
