FORMAT Rotary This serves as the format selector in all multi-format panning modes. The fol-
lowing selections are possible: L-R, LCR, LCRS, 5.1, EX, and 7.1. Depend-
ing on this selection, the actually required parameters are displayed.
PANARND On/Off This key activates the unique Pan-Around function. If active, the FRONT L-R,
F-R and REAR L-R controls become inactive.
PANARND Rotary This is a single-knob function that provides an easy-to-use pan setting around
all selected loudspeakers (depending on format) in a circular fashion. If active,
the FRONT L-R, F-R and REAR L-R controls become inactive.
CENTER On/Off On/off selector for center channel use.
CENTER Rotary Center channel percentage control; 0% = no center channel use (phantom
center), 100% = center channel fully active.
DIVERGE Off/Front/All Divergence mode selector. The divergence function can be applied to panning
between all channels or the front channels only. The key toggles between off,
front and all.
DIVERGE Rotary The divergence function is used to bleed portions of sound from the panned
output to the other speakers. For example, if the divergence is active and
set to 100%, the LR control will act as a traditional L/R pan pot (assuming
there is no center channel contribution). Panning to full left will result in full
attenuation of the right channel. If the divergence is then set to 50%, one half
of the left channel signal strength will be bled into the right channel (with-
out effecting the left channel). With the divergence control set to 1%, equal
signal will be fed to both channels and the LR pan pot will have no effect.
Divergence values are as follows: 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%,
25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%. Careful use
of this control may have the effect of increasing the size of the mix ‘sweet
spot’, particularly for large auditoria. Misuse of this control may result in
essentially mono panning.
