PROCESSING INDEPENDENCE
Processing independence
By default on a stereo or surround path,
any processing is applied to all legs in the
path (with some exceptions discussed
later). One set of master controls set the
processing applied to all legs. However,
processing can be made independent for
an individual leg of a stereo or surround
signal, for example the C leg of a 5.1 path.
A surround path which is being processed
will be referred to as the surround master
in the following example. Note that a
stereo path can be treated similarly.
EQ independence
By default, the EQ set on the surround
master is applied to all legs of the path
except the LFE leg.
Independence can be set for each band
of EQ. Fig 1 shows EQ controls for the
LFE leg of a surround channel set to
be independent. Also note the Reset
Independence EQ button on the TFT
screen this resets the values to default
for legs set to be independent, it does not
remove their independence.
To apply independent EQ to an individual
leg of the path, first assign the required
leg on the spill faders (see
“Stereo/
Surround Spill” on page 96 for further
information on this process).
Now in PROCESSING-Overview mode
or PROCESSING- EQ mode press the
INDEP button next to the EQ band (shown
right) you wish to make independent for
the assigned leg. This band can now
be adjusted to process the assigned leg
independently from the assigned surround
master. EQ bands still following the
surround master settings will display the
text S.MSTR see Fig 1- EQ Band 3 (right).
Adjustments to EQ bands still following
the surround master will also affect all
other legs in the path.
Note that switching off the Equaliser
independence of an EQ band restores its
the Surround Master Path settings.
