3D audio applications that demonstrate QSound Lab’s 3D audio technology. You must have the Rhythmic Edge install CD in your CD-ROM drive to launch these applications.

Show Control Panel Icon in the TaskBar:

Enabling this allows you to open the control panel from the taskbar. Default setting is enabled.

SETTINGS TAB

This tab allows you to select your exact speaker configuration and provides you with sliders for adjusting the master volume, left/right speaker balance, fade control (balance between front and back speakers), and Tone Control which affects all channels.

OUTPUT MODE

Headphone

Select this mode when listening using headphones rather than speakers. The head- phones should be plugged into the “front” speaker jack.

Selecting “Headphone” tells the sound card to use a special 3D algorithm when play- ing 3D games. Selecting “2 Speakers” will result in incorrect sound positioning when using headphones. Selecting “Headphones” when using speakers will reduce the effectiveness of 3D effects.

Note: The Rhythmic Edge is designed for use with headphones or amplified (powered) speakers. Use with passive (non-amplified) speakers is not recommended.

2 Speakers

Select this mode when using stereo (2 or 3 piece) speaker systems. The Rhythmic Edge will apply advanced 3D algorithms to virtualize sounds all around you when playing compatible 3D audio enabled games.

QXpander

QXpander widens the sound field of stereo music and provides 3D enhancement to 2D audio games. Using this feature in combination with speakers providing “3D enhancement” may cause distortion and is not recommended.

DVD QSurround

This feature will greatly enhance your listening experience when used during DVD playback in 2 speaker mode. This feature will provide the sensation of a full-blown 5.1 speaker system by virtualizing the surround speakers. For proper operation 5.1 output must be selected in the soft-DVD player’s control panel.

QSurround requires a soft-DVD player capable of providing 5.1 channel output. If your soft-DVD player does not offer 5.1 output mode then select “stereo’ or “Pro-Logic mode” in the soft-DVD player’s control panel and select QXpander mode instead of DVD QSurround.

The Rhythmic Edge supports numerous playback modes for various speaker configurations. See the “DVD Playback Modes” section of this manual for details.
