Lexicon MC-1 - page 8

Effect An

effect

is a configuration that determines how the MC-1

will

process an input signal. The MC-1 contains 24 effects:

Panorama,

Nightclub, Concert Hall, Church, Cathedral, Party, 2-Channel, Music

Surround, Music Logic, Logic 7, TV Matrix, Pro Logic, THX Cinema,

Mono Logic, 5.1 2-Channel, 5.1 Music, 5.1 Logic 7, Dolby Digital, THX

5.1, DTS 2-Channel, DTS Music, DTS Logic 7, DTS Film and DTS THX

5.1.

Parameter Each Effect has a set of

parameters

(controls) that charac-

terize it. Parameter settings can be changed to customize each Effect

for your room and listening taste.

Effect Parameter

values are stored/recalled with each Effect. Some

examples are: Subwoofer Level and Vocal Enhance

System parameter

values are not associated with a particular Effect

and their values do not change when a new Effect is loaded. An example

is: Speaker Configuration.

PCM FX The term PCM FX (Pulse Code Modulation Effects) is used to

describe all of the effects which are compatible with two-channel input

signals (analog or digital).

Two-Channel We use the term two-channel rather than "stereo"

because a two-channel input can contain monaural, stereo or matrix-

encoded stereo sound depending on how it was mixed.
