The “Summed Center Channel” methods outlined below do not create a true center channel, they simply sum left and right signals to the center speaker system. This is not as desirable as a true center channel from a multi- channel source, but it can be used to create a convincing sound stage in some applications.
B)“Summed Center Channel”, No User Adjustability
Required: a basic source unit or processor with left and right stereo outputs.
Input Connections: a single pair of stereo source unit outputs, connected to the CH 1&2
