Use the parameter on the Style page to fine-tune
the way a signal is being processed by the Up-
Con module.
UpCon Front section
Reference Level parameter
The Reference Level parameter is used for input
level scaling, mainly affecting the Contour Style
settings.
– For broadcast, use a setting between -22 and
-18 dBFS.
– For film, use a setting between -20 and
-24 dBFS
– For music, use a setting between -14 and
-20 dBFS.
C Contour Style parameter
Use the C Contour Style parameter for Center
channel extraction.
L/R Process parameter
Use the L/R Process parameter for suppression
of the Center channel in L/R. You should set this
parameter in tandem with the front channel gain
parameters on the Format – UpCon page.
LFE Proc. Hi Cut parameter
Use the LFE Proc. Hi Cut parameter to set the
cut-off frequency for the LFE extraction low-
pass filter.
LFE Slope parameter
Use the LFE Slope parameter to set the cutoff
slope (steepness) for the LFE extraction low-
pass filter.
UpCon Surround section
Surround Delay parameter
Use the Surround Delay parameter to set the
delay for the surround channel. This should nor-
mally be set between 0 and 20 ms.
Sr Contour Style parameter
Use the Surround Contour Style parameter for
surround channel extraction. For best results,
set this parameter in combination with the sur-
round channel gain parameters on the Format
– UpCon page.
Sr Spectrum parameter
Use the Surround Spectrum parameter to set
the frequency response for surround channel
extraction. For best results, set this parameter in
combination with the surround channel gain pa-
rameters on the Format – UpCon page.
Decorrelate parameter
Use the Decorrelate parameter to specify the de-
correlation algorithm for the surround channels.
Focus parameter
Use the Focus parameter to set the surround
image. The obtainable surround imaging ranges
from mono (at a -50 setting) over de-correlated
(at 0) to 180 degree phase shift (at a +50 setting).
Decorrelate Tone parameter
Use the Decorrelate Tone parameter to sharpen
or dampen the de-correlation tone in the sur-
round channels.

When the ALC Target parameter on the Weight
page is set to
5.1 Format, the five channel pa-
rameters serve as channel weighing fields for
the main channels. The gains shown here cor-
