Logic 7

This film sound mode reproduces musical material with maximum separa-

 

 

tion at all times, whether or not directional material is being steered. In

 

 

addition, Logic 7 uses intelligent steering to extract wide bandwidth stereo

 

 

surround channels. If both side and rear speaker pairs are available, signals

 

 

may be steered between the left side and left rear, or between the right side

 

 

and right rear. It is also possible for a signal to be steered fully to the rear

 

 

speakers, with the side surround speakers 6dB lower than the rears to

 

 

provide subjective rear imaging.

 

 

 

Logic 7 contains the re-equalizer feature of the THX Cinema effect, as well

 

 

as Lexicon's proprietary vocal enhancement feature. The combination of

 

 

stereo surround information during music and decorrelated effects, with

 

 

discrete steering to the sides and rears, gives Logic 7 unrivaled performance

 

 

on matrix encoded films.
