TV Logic

TV Logic

TV Logic provides user-adjustable steering, and is recommended for use with TV broadcasts that are not surround encoded, where Pro Logic may give reduced intelligibility.

THX Cinema

THX Cinema enhances Pro Logic to replicate the sound of a dubbing stage or theatre, whether or not the other equipment in your system is THX approved.

Ambisonic

Ambisonic decodes material specifically encoded for surround sound reproduction, using a two-channel stereo-compatible encoding. Recordings encoded in Ambisonic format are available on CD from several sources including Nimbus Records and York Ambisonic. Some radio broadcasts are also broadcast in Ambisonic format.

Conventional stereo sources

The digital surround processor can also accept a conventional two-channel source, such as music on compact disc or a video soundtrack, and by analysing the information in the signal separate the two-channel recording into multiple channels to give better reproduction and a more stable spatial image.

Four alternative DSP presets are provided for reproducing material originally designed for a conventional stereo pair of speakers, and which preset you choose largely depends on your own personal preferences.

All four presets use similar procedures to extract the surround component of the original recording, which is delivered to the rear surround speakers, and side surround speakers if present.

Music

Music uses a special technique developed by Meridian to divide the sound between the left, right, and centre speakers and give a wide, spacious sound. We recommend this option for large- scale music, such as orchestral and choral music.
