A Surround pan grid
For each input channel, the approximate surround pan
position is shown by the O symbol. If you click this
area, the SURR PARAM screen for that channel will
appear.
B Surround pan position
This indicates the surround pan coordinate positions
in the left/right direction (L/R) and the front/rear
direction (F/R).
C Channel
This is the number and name of the input channel.

M/S screen

For two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input
channels (or ST IN channel L/R), these settings convert the
two-channel signal from an MS mic into L/R signals.

A S-GAIN knob
This knob sets the proportionate level of the S mic rela-
tive to the level of the M mic. The current value is
shown in the numerical box at the right.
At the MONO position, the S mic level will be at –∞, at
the STEREO position the M mic and S mic will be at
the same level, and at the EXP.ST position the S mic
level will be +10 dB.
B M/S DECODE ON/OFF
This button switches M/S decoding on/off for two
adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input chan-
nels (or ST IN channel L/R). M/S decoding can be
switched on even for channels that are not assigned as a
stereo pair.
C Channel
This is the number and name of the input channel.
Hint
M/S is a stereo recording technique in which two micro-
phones are used; a uni-directional M (Middle) mic and a bi-
directional S (Side) mic. The M mic captures the main signal
and the S mic captures the directional signal, and the sum
(M+S) and difference (M-S) of the two signals (this procedure
is known as "decoding") is recorded on the L and R channels
respectively.
