The Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder integrated in the transmitter uses the stereo input signal to derive

two additional signals, a center and a surround channel. The IVA circuitry generates from these signals a

Decoder

binaural signal equivalent to reproduction through five high quality loudspeakers (three front, two rear

 

speakers). This allows you to enjoy all the benefits of Dolby surround sound even through headphones.

 

 

 

 

The integrated LOGIC7 decoder allows recordings in all audio formats (mono, stereo, Dolby Surround, and LOGIC7) to be accurately reproduced through headphones. Depending on the momentary signal configuration, two to eight loudspeakers are simulated at any time. Accordingly, the number of simulat- ed speakers may even change automatically during the same piece.

Also, the LOGIC7 decoder will derive a surround signal from a stereo input signal and is fully compatible to Dolby Surround.
