LISTENING TO STEREO MUSIC IN SURROUND SOUND (2000/XP ONLY)

When listening to stereo in 4, 5.1 and 7.1 speaker configurations, the stereo signal will be sent to the Front speakers and the Environment-processed sound will be sent to the Surround speakers. In these Speaker Configuration modes, the Stereo-to-Multi-speakerindicator in the Settings Summary will light up to indicate that stereo music is being sent to all speakers, not just the two front speakers.

When listening to Stereo on multi-speakers, try this:

Select the 4, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configuration that matches your speaker system.

Turn on the Multichannel to Subwoofer option by clicking the ―…‖ button next to the Speaker Configuration pull-down menu in the Speaker Tab. This will send the low-frequency portion of the stereo signal to the sub-woofer output so you can hear deeper bass and control the level with the sub- woofer volume in the Speakers Tab.

Enable the Environments in the Effects Tab and select an Environment from the pull-down menu. This sends the stereo signal processed by reverb to the surround speakers. You can adjust the amount of this effect with the Surround speaker volume controls in the Speaker Tab.

Turn on the Speaker Position feature to position the surround and front speakers.

Use the Equalizer to alter the tone to suit the genre of music you‘re listening to.

For different surround sound effects, try adjusting the balance of Front, Surround, Center and LFE speaker levels with the Volume Controls in the Speakers Tab.

When you‘ve found some settings that you like, save them as Presets by clicking Preset Save at the top left of the Montego Control Panel. You can then easily return to any setting by clicking on Preset and then the name under which it was saved.

SPEAKER POSITIONING & MULTI-SPEAKER SETTINGS UNDER VISTA/WINDOWS 7

Under Vista/Windows 7, the settings on the Speakers and Effects tabs of the Montego DDL Control Panel function a little differently. For example, selecting ―5.1 Speakers‖ on the Speakers tab enables all 6 analog speakers so that the audio from 6 channel sources can be heard in the proper output channels, but does not automatically mix stereo audio to all of the speakers (that is, a stereo file will only be heard from the Front Left and Right speakers).

In order to mix and match the number of audio channels with the number of active speakers, the Speaker Positioning (on the Effects tab) must be enabled – this will expose a new control specific to Vista/Windows 7 that allows you to ―tune the speaker mix‖. This is best explained with a couple of examples. If you wanted to listen to stereo MP3 files played through all speakers of a 7.1 speaker system, enable ―7.1 Speakers‖ on the Main tab, then enable the Speaker Positioning on the Effects tab and choose ―Stereo Sources‖ from the ‗Speaker Mix Tuned For‘ drop-down menu (shown below). The virtual speakers can be dragged around to alter the room sound, and the individual volume sliders on the Main tab can also be used to adjust the overall volume of each of the channels.
