*6 if configured with center speaker;

15 if configured without center speaker (Presets only)

The setting of EFFECT LEVEL is very important in Mono Logic. If this control is set too high, the sound will be too reverberant; too low, a setting will result in an insufficient amount of the effect. This control adjusts the loudness of the side and rear outputs as well as the amount of ambient signal mixed into the front speakers.

TREBLE ROLLOFF regulates the treble cut in the side and rear channels. The optimal setting for this parameter will vary widely with the age, quality and condition of the source material.

ACADEMY FILTER is provided to recreate the proper tonal balance of older monaural films, which were recorded with a much narrower and duller frequency response than current films.

MAIN LEVEL controls the level of the mono signal which is reproduced by the main speakers. When there is a center speaker configured, many films may sound better when this control is set between 6-12. This will spread the film sound out around the screen and can be more pleasant than restricting the dialog and much of the other film sound to the center speaker.

In Mono Logic, MAIN MUTE mutes the center output; EFFECTS MUTE mutes the front, side and rear outputs.
