The CSP-1 combines
a
high-se[iaration surround
proces-
sor, crossover and bass equalizer all in one rugged,
com-
pact chassis.
lt
provides
a
spatially
correct
panoramic
expansion of ordinary stereo program material
into a
wide-
field
surround audio format.
The CSP-1
will work excellently on un-encoded
audio
material
but
is also compatible with the Dolby
MP
Matrix
(Dolby
Surround)rM
encoding that is
used
on
some
audio
recordings.
The
lmage
Steering
technology employed
within
the
CSP-1
represents the efforts of
Jim
Fosgate
- a
leading
authority
in the
field of multi-channel
sound.
The CSP-1 includes
a
Subwoofer on/off switch
to
provide
full bass
response
in
installations
without
subwoofers.
When
the
Subwoofer
switch
is
off,
the
four corner
channels
are given a full range of musical signal including low
bass
energy.
Be sure
the corner speakers can handle
low bass
energy without bottoming out
or distorting.
A subwoofer
is
needed
if
the corner speakers cannot handle the low
bass
energy.
The CSP-1 includes an adjustable crossover
network.
The
high frequencies are fed to the surround processor
circuitry
and
the
low frequencies are always
fed to
the
subwoofer
outputs and are
fed to
corner
channels
when
the
Subwoofer
switch is off. We
have
set
25O
Hz
as
the
optimum crossover frequency for
most
installations.
Plug-in
networks are available from harman/kardon which allow
the
user
to change crossover frequencies
if necessary.
Three
subwoofer outputs are provided: stereo
L/R
and
mono. The system
can
be installed with either a mono sub-
woofer
or
stereo left
and
right
subwoofers
or
both
stereo
and mono subwoofers. Stereo subwoofers are
highly
recommendgd
but
requlre extra power
and
lndependent
enclosures
'for each speaker.
ln
installations
where
sepa-
rate subwoofers are not possible,
a
lower crossover
f
requency will usually provide the
best results.
