Music DSP presets
The digital surround processor provides seven alternative music DSP presets designed for the reproduction of well recorded material, originally intended for replay over a traditional stereo pair of loudspeakers.
In addition, it provides DSP presets for reproducing music in the digitally encoded DTS, MPEG, and MLP formats.

Music
The Music DSP preset extracts the mono and surround components of the original recording. These components provide an alternative representation of the original sound, and this representation is sometimes used for recording systems or in broadcasts such as FM radio.
The mono element is equalised using a proprietary Meridian technique to match the tone colour of the centre speaker, and to compensate for the fact that the frequency response of human hearing changes with direction.
The Music DSP preset is recommended for recordings made with spaced omnidirectional microphones, or using a mono- surround technique.
Trifield
As for the Music DSP preset, the Trifield preset extracts the mono and surround components of the original recording. It then calculates the signals for the front left, centre, and right speakers, using the phase and amplitude differences between the three front channels, to redistribute the sounds on a
