11 Surround Functions
This chapter describes surround panning, which determines how Input Channel signals are
panned within and across the stereo field. It also describes the DM1000's surround moni-
toring capabilities, which enable you to monitor, in a surround sound environment,
DM1000 surround mixes or surround sources input via the slots.
Using Surround Pan
About Surround Pan
The Surround Pan function places a sound image within a two-dimensional field using a
multi-channel playback system, and pans the image to the front, rear, left, and right in rela-
tion to the listening position. To pan the stereo image, you can use the Parameter wheel,
[INC]/[DEC] buttons, or Joystick.
You can also store the surround pan settings in a Scene, or record the movement of the
sound image to Automixes. In addition to a normal Stereo mode, the DM1000 features the
following three Surround modes:
• 3-1
This mode uses four channels that include front
left, front right, front center, and rear.
• 5.1
This mode uses six channels that include front left,
front right, rear left, rear right, front center, and
subwoofer.
• 6.1
This mode uses seven channels that include six
channels of 5.1 mode plus rear center.
