CONNECTING THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OUTPUTS continued
from the appropriate-side surround channel and the back channel. Time delays for these new
speakers should be set for the distance to the closest seats.
Add a rear-channel subwoofer: try 50% B, 25% LS, and 25% RS. Then add low-pass filtering, if
needed, and a delay time for the sub's distance from your seat. If you prefer to add subwoofers
on the sides of the room, try feeding the left sub 100% L + 60% C + 100% LS + 60% LFE, and
feed the right sub 100% R + 60% C +100% RS + 60% LFE.
Add time-delay for a tactile-transducer: try 100% LFE + 0% to 50% C, + 50-100% each of L, R,
LS, and RS.
Add a central overhead channel: Try 100% each of LS and RS, or (2) 30% C + 10% LS + 10% RS
+ 50% B. If you find yourself acutely aware of sound coming from this new speaker, adjust the
channel's low-pass filter to roll off its highs above, say, 8kHz to blend it with the other speakers,
whose high frequencies are less noticeable because they're further away.
Create a mono channel for an adjacent room, try 100% C + 50% L + 50% R + 25% LS and RS,
and adjust the LFE percentage or high pass filter so as not to overload the speaker with bass it
can't handle.
Add more front speakers: for an extra-wide room, place inboard of the L and R speakers. Feed
the left one 50-75% L + 50-75% C; feed 50-75% R + 50-75% C to the speaker on the other
side. If you prefer outboard speakers, feed the far left speaker 60% L – (not +) 40% R (which
injects right-channel signal with its polarity inverted), and 60% R, – 40% L to the far left one.
Add more front speakers: if your two front speakers are closer to each other than their distance
to your seat, you can synthesize greater channel separation by feeding them from the Aux
rather than the L and R outputs, with, say, 100% L - 30% R to the left speaker and 100% R -
30% L to the right speaker.
