MS Decoding

Adjacent MIC/LINE or TAPE channels configured as a stereo pair can be
used to decode signals derived using MS microphone techniques. MS
signals are controlled using the channel faders and pan controls. Other
channel controls work as normal.
Shown below is the PAIR 1/2 page—Pair.
When the MS function is turned on, channels are configured as a stereo
pair, although unlike regular pair mode the faders work independently.
When the stereo pair is cancelled, the MS function is turned off.
Channels configured in MS mode have to be stored as two individual
channel programs, with the odd/M channel as one program, and the
even/S channel as another. When you recall these programs, make sure
that the destination channels are not already configured as a stereo pair. If
they are the channel faders will be set the same.
The width of sound can be controlled by adjusting the S level.
The following table shows how the MS signals work with the channel
controls.
MS
M (odd-numbered channel)
S (even-numbered channel)
Bus send levels are as follows:
L = ML + SL
R = MR – SR (pan coefficient of the right side of S is inverted)
Fader Function Pan Function
M level ML and MR balance
(in the direction of M)
S level SL and SR balance
