·
Start your external signal source to play back some stereo audio.
·
Switch your surround monitoring system on. Starting with a low vol-
ume setting in order to protect your speakers and your ears, set
your desired playback level.
·
You should hear a 5.1 surround signal now that has been generated
by
ISOSTEM
®
using your stereo source.
·
Follow the steps above to load preset 3. Compare the results.
Please note:
At this point, there is no need to care about the clock syn-
chronization of
ISOSTEM
®
's AES input.
ISOSTEM
®
uses sampling rate
converters (SRC) in all inputs if necessary to obtain proper sync. However,
your playback system must be synced to one of the
ISOSTEM
®
's AES out-
puts if it does not use SRCs on its own.
·
Switch the GUI to the "Expert" tab ("Expert" model only). In the low-
er middle section of the window, there are Mute and Solo switches
for each loudspeaker channel available. Among others, they can be
useful for listening to discrete channels. In the "Monitor" section be-
low, switching between "Surround" and "Stereo" alternatively lets
you compare the original stereo source and the 5.1
ISOSTEM
®
out-
put.
