User Guide
Lets you use the Surround Panner to position your
Surround Panner, Summed To Mono
sound source. However, this option always sums the track's signal to a mono signal. In this
mode, panning the sound source to any location in the sound field results in the summed
mono signal being fed to all channels.
Sends the entire track signal to the LFE (subwoofer) channel. Your monitoring
Lfe Only
system applies the proper crossover frequency cutoff for reproducing the audio sent to the
LFE channel. Typically, most LFE components in 5.1 surround playback systems are set to
a cutoff of < 80 Hz or < 120 Hz. The Multichannel Encoder itself does not apply any filter
to the LFE channel audio.
Sends the selected track's signal as a stereo source directly to only the Front
FL + FR, Stereo
Left and Front Right speakers in a 50/50 stereo balance.
Sends the selected track's signal as a stereo source directly to only the rear
Ls + Rs, Stereo
Left Surround and Right Surround speakers in a 50/50 stereo balance.
When selected for a stereo track, this option routes the track's left
Center + LFE, Stereo
channel signal to the Center channel and the track's right channel signal to the LFE
(subwoofer) channel discretely. If this option is selected for a track containing a Mono
source file, the same signal is sent equally to both the Center and LFE channels. Note that
this option is most useful with a stereo source file.
Sums
Center Only, Mono; FL Only, Mono; FR Only, Mono; Ls Only, Mono; Rs Only, Mono
the selected track's audio to a mono signal, and sends it all to the selected channel. This is
the same as dragging the Panner Point directly onto one of the five main speakers in the
Surround Panner.
Using the Surround Panner
The Surround Panner is an interactive control representing the audio field. You drag the
Panner Point (white dot) to change the perceived sound source. As you move the Panner
Point, the light blue Power Indicator lines coming from the speakers change length. The
length of the lines indicates the power balance of your sound source coming from each of the
five main channels. Additionally, a portion of the sphere appears dark blue to indicate the
image of the sound field. That is, when seated in the center of the speakers (marked by the
crosshairs), the blue area indicates where the listener perceives the sound to be coming from.
