The 2-band structure consists of a stereo enhancer, a slow 2-band gated AGC for
gain riding, an equalization section, a gated 2-band compressor, and a low-IM look-
ahead limiter. A CBS Loudness Controller, which is primarily useful for sound-for-
picture applications, can be activated to control subjectively perceived loudness.
The 6300's 2-band Structure can be made phase-linear throughout to maximize sonic
transparency. However, you can also choose an allpass crossover structure (see AGC
C on page 3-37).
ROSSOVER
The 2-band structure has an open, easy-to-listen-to sound that is similar to the
source material if the source material is of good quality. We recommend using it
when you want to preserve the spectral balance of the source material while not
significantly increasing program density. Hence, it is mainly useful for unobtrusive
gain riding in sound-for-picture applications (where its loudness controller can be
useful) and in fine arts programming.
If you need processing for loudness and/or processing that automatically
corrects spectral balance inconsistency in the source material, we recom-
mend using the 5-band structure instead.
There are several 2-band presets. These are listed in Table 3-2: Radio-Style Presets on
page 3-20.
The Protection presets have the same Intermediate and Advanced Modify controls
available as the 2-band structure and use the same DSP configuration but with the
stereo enhancer, AGC, and equalizer defeated.
Each 2-band Factory Preset has a L
