7.1 PAN:
Date printed: 03.09.03
LFE: The SW key serves as an ON/OFF for the Low Frequency Effects channel.
The rotary encoder controls the LFE level over a mute to +10 dB range in
0.5 dB increments (–∞ dB to +10 dB).
PANA: A unique Pan-Around function is activated by the SW key and controlled
with the rotary encoder. 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.
DIVM: This is the divergence mode selector. The divergence function can be ap-
plied to panning between all channels or the front channels only. The SW
key or rotary encoder selects between OFF, FRNT, and ALL.
DIVG: 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 LCR 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 bleed 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 LCR 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 auditoriums. Misuse
of this control may result in essentially mono panning.
Note: The order of EX bus assignments is as follows: L, R, C, Ls, Rs, LFE, Cs.
The 7.1 PAN is an eight-channel panner with left, left center, center, right
center, right, left surround, right surround, and low frequency effects
(LFE) channels. 7.1 PANning parameters are as follows:
• PAGE 1 = MPAN: CENT (center percentage), LsRs (left surround/
right surround), F/S (front/surround), 5.1 (left/center/right)
• PAGE 2 = FEED: FRMT (format), LFE (low frequency effects)
• PAGE 3 = MODE: PANA (Pan-Around), DIVM (divergence mode),
DIVG (divergence function)
CENT: A center channel is turned ON/OFF using the SW key.
LsRs: This parameter controls panning between the left and right surround chan-
nels. This control provides 1° steps from –30° (left surround) to +30°
(right surround). L30 indicates full left surround, 30R indicates full right
surround, and L00R indicates the mid position. The SW key allows the
rotary encoder to be deactivated and therefore provides the ability to
"lock" the pan position in place.
F/S: This front/surround parameter provides panning between front channels
(LCR) and the rear channels (left and right surround). This control oper-
ates within a range of 60 increments. F30 indicates full front, 30B indi-
cates full surround, and 0 indicates the mid position. The SW key allows
the rotary encoder to be deactivated and therefore provides the ability to
"lock" the pan position in place.
7.1: This parameter controls the front panning between the left, left-center,
center, right-center, and right channels with 1° steps. L30 = left, L15 =
left- center, C = center, 15R = right-center, and 30R = right. The contribu-
tion to the center channel is determined by the CENT control. The SW key
allows the rotary encoder to be deactivated and therefore provides the
ability to "lock" the pan position in place.
