surround sound processing
The X4 uses Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Headphone surround processing technologies the
industry-standard formats for encoding multi-channel game audio. Dolby Headphone processing recreates 5.1
surround sound using the X4 stereo headphones so you can hear the sound all around you, as if you were
listening to a 5.1 speaker system.
The X4 transmitter supports three types of digital source material and analog stereo. When the Bypass button is
ON, Dolby Processing is defeated, so you can hear the unprocessed input signal in stereo, as it sounds from
the source. Here's how the signal processing modes operate:
n
When the digital input signal is active, the front panel digital light turns on and the analog inputs are turned
off. So you don't have to disconnect cables to switch between analog and digital sound sources.
n
If the Bypass LED is on, Dolby processing is defeated and the signal will be heard as stereo.
n
If the digital input is a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel signal, the front panel DD light turns on and Dolby
Headphone processes the 5.1 channels
n
If the digital source is a Dolby Pro Logic II signal, both Dolby lights will turn on and Dolby Headphone creates
PL II surround sound on the headphones.
n
If the digital input is stereo,
create an expanded stereo
n
If the digital input is not active (or is disconnected) the analog stereo signal will be active.
n
If there is an analog stereo input and the Bypass LED is on, there will be no Dolby processing and the signal
will be heard as stereo.
n
If there is an analog stereo input and the Bypass LED is off, the front panel DD PL II light turns on and the
analog stereo signal is processed by Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Headphone to create an expanded stereo
sound on the headphones.
