OPTIMOD-PC
amount of gain imbalance permitted between the left and right channels in a given
band, and therefore the amount of stereo image shift permitted in each frequency
band.
Although the processing is dual-mono, you cannot adjust setup controls independ-
ently on the left and right channels. We assumed that OPTIMOD-PC would always
process stereo program material or dual program sources requiring the same
amount of processing (like dual-language programming in video applications).
To operate in dual mode, you must create a five-band user preset with the following
settings:
AGC Matrix.......................................................................................... L/R
AGC MaxDelta GR.............................................................................. Off
Stereo Enhancer.................................................................................Out
Band 1-5 MaxDeltGR ......................................................................... Off
