LFE LEVEL [82] LFE level control from MUTE (i.e. –∞ dB) to +10 dB.
Within this section, no filtering is applied to the signal fed to the LFE bus.
PANARND On/Off [83] This key activates the unique Pan-Around function
PANARND [84] This is a single-knob function that provides an easy-to-use pan setting
around all selected loudspeakers (depending on format) in a circular fash-
ion.
DIVERGE Off/Front/All [85] Divergence mode selector. The divergence function can be applied to pan-
ning between all channels or the front channels only. The key toggles be-
tween OFF, FRNT, and ALL.
DIVERGE [86] The divergence function is used to bleed portions of sound from the
panned output to the other speakers. For example, if the divergence is ac-
tive 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 (without 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 in-
creasing the size of the mix “sweet spot”, particularly for large auditoria.
Misuse of this control may result in essentially mono panning.
