CAUTION!

Setting the BASS RT, MID RT and SIZE parameters to a high value may produce undesirable or damaging audio.

SOUND STAGE

FRONT, NEUTRAL, REAR

Dynamically controls the relative balance of the audio output connectors. When set to FRONT, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are attenuated by 6dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the front of the listening space. When set to NEUTRAL, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are slightly attenuated by 3dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the center of the listening space. When set to REAR, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are not attenuated, preserving the intended balance of the sound field. Available in all Logic 7 modes.
