Mixing with Stereo Pans in Surround
Using the
L/R surround template
, we can now add to it and create a
complete Surround Routing template.
It is possible to create a Stereo mix and a 5.1 Surround mix and output
them both from the console at the same time.
The Surround mix is configured by using six of the 8T busses (plus Aux 1
and Aux 2 to supply discrete feeds to the Centre and Sub speakers).
•
8T 1
&
2
behave as
Front Left
and
Front Right
•
8T 5
&
6
behave as
Left Surround
&
Right Surround
•
8T 7
behaves as
Centre
•
8T 8
behaves as
Sub
On any given path:
•
The contribution level to the two front speakers is set by the
CH
Fader
.
•
The contribution level to the two rear speakers is set by the
Monitor
pot
.
The diagram below shows how the 8Ts and the first two auxiliaries can be
configured into a 5.1 Surround environment (when not using LCR
panning):
Using the Fader and Monitor Pot (and the associated pan controls on each
fader strip), a signal can be sent to any point within the surround field.
To set up Surround LS Monitoring (both in Stereo Pan Surround and LCR Pan Surround)
These 8T signals now need to be mapped correctly to the Surround
loudspeakers.
The 8Ts should employ the following mapping:
