ELECTOR
Selects the surround speaker format that will be used to output audio when surround panning is
enabled. The surround modes offered are as follows:
• All surround formats begin with speaker 1 at the front-left position and increment clockwise. This
may run contrary to established 5.1 and 7.1 film standards, but it makes plugging output channels
into the appropriate speakers much easier.
5.2.3.3 – B

ANAGEMENT
The Bass Management section of the Surround tab contains options for configuring the optional low
frequency crossover when surround panning is enabled.
• When bass management is enabled (and surround panning), all low frequency content (audio
below the crossover frequency) will be routed out the headphone jack; higher frequency content
(audio above the crossover frequency) will go out outputs 1–8 as normal.
When surround panning is enabled, the Aux sends, Aux panning, and Aux faders
no longer function as normal. Aux outputs are used exclusively for surround output
channels, even if the current surround format does not use all outputs (e.g. the
“Quad” surround format).
