Panorama Control; Dts Neo:6 Music Or Cinema; Center Image Control; Dynamic Range Compression Control - Extron electronics SSP 7.1 User Manual

There are up to eight different settings, with each corresponding to a specific
calculation angle (Φ). When the setting is 0, the sound comes from the center
speaker, when the setting is 7, the sound is from the L/R speakers. The default
setting is 3.

N The level of the center speaker (C Level) is related to cosine Φ . The level of the
left and right speakers (L/R Level) is related to sine Φ .

Panorama control

This feature extends the Center Width Control, so that all or part of the center
image can be heard from the side surround speakers for a "wraparound" effect. The
feature may be on or off. The default setting is Off.

DTS Neo:6 Music or Cinema

Center image control

The Center Image control varies the amount of attenuation applied to the Left and
Right channel information of the input source that is used for creating the output
Center channel effects. When it is set to 0, the mixed input signal information,
intended for use in creating the Center output channel of the DTS Neo:6 listening
modes, is filtered back to the Front Left and Right output channels. This creates
the effect of spreading the centralized audio signal across all three front output
channels. When this control is set to 10, the matrixed information intended for the
Center output channel effects is fully attenuated, allowing the Center channel to
dominate and creating a more centralized effect from the front channels.
The default setting for DTS Neo6: Music is 3. The default setting for
DTS Neo6: Cinema is 10.

Dynamic Range Compression control

(Only with Dolby Digital and DTS source formats that have a Dynamic Range
Compression flag)
This control adjusts the gain applied to Dolby Digital or DTS listening modes
to compress the signal outputs during the decoding process. The three possible
settings are none, minimum, and maximum. The default setting is None.

None

The signal is uncompressed and is played with the full original dynamic range.

Minimum

The audio is partially compressed. In this mode, the volume of the loudest
passages is reduced but quieter passages are kept at their original level. This level
is recommended for normal listening.
