The LFE (“Low Frequency Effects”) control is used to set the signal level of
the Low Frequency Effects channel. This channel is specifically designed to
handle low frequency signals.
Mixing for 5.1 audio systems is a complex topic, far beyond the scope of
this manual. For further information the following two books are
recommended:
Spatial Audio
by Francis Rumsey
5.1 Surround Sound: Up and Running
by Tomlinson Holman
When the 5.1 Mixer is used in a stereo environment only the X-axis
(Left/Right) is of relevance in terms of placing a signal in the stereo
panorama. The Center and LFE parameters should not be used in pure
stereo environment. Presets which are designed for 5.1 environments will
also play in a pure stereo environment. In this case, the Center and LFE
channel will be mixed to both left and right outputs.
HINT: When you are automating parameter changes it’s best to tweak
parameters from the main screen. This is because the amount of
automatable
parameters may be limited in your host program. For
example, if you want to automate Filter 1 Cutoff, it’s best to do so from Main
panel rather than Filter panel.
