SURROUND MIXING
User Guide
This is also true for the LFE bus: in normal Surround mode (i.e. not Downmix), it is routed
only to the LFE output (with or without Filter, depending on the LFE Filter setting: ON =
with filter, OFF or FORCE OFF = without filter), and in Downmix modes, it is routed to the
Front L/R monitor outputs (with or without Filter, depending on the LFE Filter setting: ON
or OFF = with filter, FORCE OFF = without filter). Therefore, the FORCE OFF option allows
to monitor the unfiltered LFE bus through full range speakers instead of the subwoofer.
Surround Mixdown
Mixdown of surround projects is done in the same way as Mixdown for stereo projects, with
the distinction that the DPS24 will mix your project down to a 6 or 4 track master project
rather than to 2 tracks.
The MBCX facility is not available for surround projects.
2-TRACK
The functionality of the 2-TRACK key has been expanded to allow direct monitoring of an
outboard Surround source from analog or ADAT inputs.
Two new options have been added to the 2 Track Source option in the AUDIO SETUP screen:
ADC 1..n: routes the 2-TRACK input from ADC 1 to n to the surround monitor
outputs on activation.
ADAT 1..n: routes the 2-TRACK input from ADAT 1 to n to the surround monitor
outputs on activation.
(n is dependent on the surround format: n = 6 for 5.1 Surround; n = 4 for LCRS/2+2).
If the 2-Track Source option is set to 2 TRACK L+R or DIGITAL IN L+R the selected source
will be routed to the MAIN L/R DPS24 outputs (Front L/R) on 2-TRACK activation.
Surround Panning
Several new mixer controls have been added to facilitate placement of audio elements in the
surround field, and in 5.1 Surround mode, to allow flexible routing and level control of sources
fed to the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.
These new panning controls are all accessible through the MIXER CHANNEL PAN subpage.
You can navigate between the PAN, EQ/FX and DYN/FX subpages by pressing the appropriate Fkeys.
