Lexicon RV-8 manual Source, Speaker Angle, Speech Detect, Spread, Sub & Sub Lvl, Surr Rolloff

RV-8 Mode Adjust

SOURCE RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT

Controls the perceived direction of the PANORAMA listening mode external calibration source signal. When RIGHT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from the right of the primary listening position. When LEFT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from the left of the primary listening position. When LEFT & RIGHT is selected, the sound is perceived to come from all around the primary listening position. Refer to the Calibration section that begins on page 6-13for more information about the SOURCE parameter. Available in PANORAMA CALIBRATION.

Note:

The SOURCE parameter controls the perceived direction of the sound, although both the front left and right speakers generate the external calibration source signal.

SPEAKER ANGLE 10 to 90deg

Compensates for a wide or narrow speaker angle relative to the primary listening position. Select the setting closest to the angle between the front left and right speakers and the primary listening position. Refer to the Calibration section that begins on page 6-13for more information about the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter. Available in PANORAMA CALIBRATION.

SPEECH DETECT ON, OFF

Distinguishes monaural speech from other input sources. When set to ON, effects are lowered to minimize interference and unnatural echo in monaural speech. When stereo input sources are present, the front left and right channels are independently used as inputs for ambience synthesis. When strong monaural speech is present in the input source, the monaural component of the ambience effect is reduced and the stereo component of the effect is increased. When set to OFF, the amount of ambience synthesis is dynamically controlled. Available in NIGHTCLUB, CONCERT HALL, CHURCH and CATHEDRAL modes.

SPREAD 0 to 100%

Controls the timing between the initial reflections that most audibly create the sound of a real room. SHAPE and SPREAD work together; if either is set to 0, the other has no effect. Available in all LIVE! modes.

SUB & SUB LVL OFF, –30 to +12dB

Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Subwoofer. The SUB parameter appears on the listening mode OUTPUT LEVELS menu. The SUB LVL parameter appears on listening mode menus when the listening mode does not accom- modate multichannel output signals. Available in all except LIVE! modes.

SURR ROLLOFF 500Hz to 20.0kHz, OFF

Applies high-frequency attenuation control to the audio output connectors labeled Side L/R and Rear L/R. This filter is only applied to output signals generated by the RV-8. Available in all Logic 7 modes.

SURROUND DLY 0 to 15ms

Increases the perceived depth of the listening space by delaying the arrival time of signals from the side and rear speakers. It is recom- mended that you increase the setting when a greater sense of depth is desired in the listening space.

SURROUND EX AUTO, ON, OFF

Controls the THX Surround EX decoding feature, which can be used to extract a rear channel from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. When ON is selected, THX Surround EX decoding is engaged for all

5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. When OFF is selected, THX Surround EX decoding is not engaged for all 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. Available in THX ULTRA2, THX SurEX and THX modes.
