LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)

•The LFE feature makes it possible to handle all your bass management functions right from the channel panning, rather than purchasing an external surround bass management box.

•Click the LFE Cutoff ON button to turn on the LFE channel (subwoofer). When the button is off, there is no output to the subwoofer channel (Bus 4) and all the low-frequency information is routed to the main surround speakers.

•When the LFE Cutoff button is ON (lit), the low- frequencies are routed to the subwoofer output. Rotate the LFE Cutoff knob to select the cutoff, or crossover, frequency for the subwoofer out- put. It ranges from 20 Hz to 8 kHz.

•Rotate the LFE Level knob to adjust the sub-

woofer level. It ranges from 0 dB (unity gain) to off (–∞).

Center %

•This controls the amount of center channel signal going to the center channel output.

•At 0%, all the center channel signal is routed to the center channel output (Bus 3).

•At 50%, the center channel signal is evenly distributed among the L, C, and R outputs.

•At 100%, the center channel signal is routed to the Left and Right outputs (phantom center channel).

Memory A/B

•Each memory stores the most recent settings made for the selected channel.

•Click either of these buttons to instantly recall the stored settings.

•Ideal for making quick A/B comparisons be- tween settings.

MENU

•Click the MENU button to Cut, Copy, and Paste the surround settings to and from the clipboard.

•Select Reset to return all surround controls to their default settings.

MORPH

•Click the MORPH button to smoothly fade from one memory setting to the other (Memory A and B).

•The amount of time it takes for this transition is set in the time window next to the MORPH button.

•Morph time can be set as low as 0.1 second or as high as 30 seconds.

The AUXES window allows you to see all the Aux sends settings for the selected channel.

Assigns

The ASSIGNS window is perhaps the most powerful feature of the Digital X Bus, for it is here that you select the input source, multiple insert points, and outputs for a channel. You will come to appreciate the power and flexibility of the signal routing capability of the Digital X Bus.

•You can also open the ASSIGNS window by touching the assign section on a channel strip.

Input Src

•Click the Input Src (Source) drop-down box to select the signal source that is routed to the input of the selected channel strip. Typically, you would choose an input from one of the I/O cards that you have installed. However, you can select from a number of other sources including another channel, an aux send, one of the eight buses, the talkback mic, or one of three built-in oscillators (oscillator setup is in the Audio Toolbox under

Windows > Tools).
