SRS Labs user manual CSD-07D Set-up

CSD-07D Set-up:

Placement and Use:

Install the CSD-07D in the Lt/Rt monitor bus, and before the signal routing to the speaker system.

To ensure accurate monitoring of the Circle Surround mix, it is recommended that a minimum of 5.1 channels be monitored while mixing. Failing to do this may lead to consumers hearing something that was overlooked in the mix process. If necessary, it is possible to place the unit in Phantom Center mode.

Like all matrix encoding systems, it is important to maintain the phase and level relationships between channels. If for any reason symmetry is not maintained, the channel separation will slowly degrade.

One of the features of the CSD-07D Decoder is the ability to generate a compelling, multichannel experience of up to 6.1 channels from any monaural, stereo, Dolby Surround, and down-mixed DTS or Dolby Digital® content.

If you want to create a 5.1 or 6.1 surround mix from an existing mono, stereo or LCRS source, route the stereo signal to the CSD-07D and set the decoder in the appropriate mode (see Decode Mode on pg. 8).

The result is an immersive 5.1 or 6.1 channel soundstage from older LCRS, stereo and mono content, ready for remix or storage onto multichannel recording formats. Once remixed, the multichannel master can then be encoded into a Circle Surround Lt/Rt signal. As with all Circle Surround-encoded content, this signal is backwards compatible with all existing playback formats from mono to 5.1 channel surround sound (i.e. Pro Logic II® and Circle Surround) decoding.

Power:

The Circle Surround Decoder comes with an auto-switching power supply and JEDEC power connector. It is important that the power supplied is within the appropriate voltage range. Failure to do so could result in damage to the unit.
