Surround (Ctrl+6)

Digital X

•Determines the amount of gain reduction ap- plied to the signal once the signal level drops below the threshold. It is calibrated in percent, ranging from 0% (no attenuation) to 100% (full attenuation).

Key (Trigger) Input

•Uses the signal from another source to trigger the dynamics for a channel.

•Click the drop-down box to select the key input source.

•Touch the EQ window below the drop-down box to turn on the key input EQ (the background of the EQ graph lights).

•The key input EQ filters the key input signal prior to triggering the gate. It is a peaking filter, and allows you to tighten the trigger signal to a narrow band of frequencies.

•There are two controls for the key input EQ, Frequency and Q. Use the V-Pots below the graphic representation of the knobs to adjust the controls.

The SURROUND window offers precise control over image positioning in any mixing panorama along with individual subwoofer level and depth of center control.

Surround position control is available from the control surface by using the individual channel PAN L/R and PAN F/B V-Pot controls.

Global Surround Mode

•Click the drop-down box to select the surround mode. The choices are Stereo (default), Quad, LCRS, 5.1, 7.1 (SDDS), and 7.1 (TP).

•Changing the surround mode changes the posi- tion of the speaker icons in the surround panner display.

•The surround outputs are automatically as- signed to the Bus 1-8 outputs. Click the buttons in the Surround Bus Assigns section to assign the surround signals from the selected channel to the bus outputs (duplicates the bus assign- ments in the Assign window).

Surround Panner

•Simply click and drag the ball in the surround panner display to move the source location of the signal within the surround panorama. The top of the display represents the front speakers, and the bottom of the display represents the rear speakers and the subwoofer.

•The subwoofer is not affected by pan. Its signal is tapped prior to the surround panning.
