Sound Enhancement Page
The HTP-1 includes a full range of audio features. These are utilities that “make it sound better." As such
their application may be a matter of taste, but they all prove useful in certain situations.
Using Surround Modes
The Monolith HTP-1 system supports a number of “surround modes." These control how the input
material is mapped to the current set of speakers. A number of surround modes use proprietary
algorithms to spread sound to more speakers. You are encouraged to listen to them and choose which
one you like best for a given soundtrack or piece of music. While “direct”, “Atmos” and “DTS-X” are by
definition as the producer intended, the other modes are purely a matter of personal taste.
You are requesting a surround mode through the user interface. The requested surround mode may not
be possible. The audio status shows the current sound mode on the front panel display. This is most
often noticed when you request something like Auro-3D but the source is Dolby Atmos. Only the mono
and stereo modes can override Atmos and DTS-X content.
The following table gives some description of each surround mode:
Surround Mode Name Description
Direct
The input stream is presented without modification. As an example, this is
appropriate if you have a stereo source and you want to hear it through the
two front speakers only. Whether or not the subwoofer is engaged depends on
the configuration of the bass management on the speaker setup page.
Dolby Atmos A Dolby Atmos stream is presented in its native format. Proprietary surround
modes cannot be applied to an Atmos stream. “mono” and “stereo” can be.
This mode cannot be requested.
DTS-X A DTS-X stream is presented in its native format. Proprietary surround modes
cannot be applied to a DTS-X stream. “mono” and “stereo” can be. This mode
cannot be requested.
Auro-3D An Auro-3D encoded stream is detected and decoded. The channels present in
the stream are mapped to the available speakers. See the discussion about
“mapping channels to speakers,” above.
Dolby Surround Dolby’s proprietary “Dolby Surround®” algorithm is applied to the input signal.
Dolby Surround® is an evolution of the ProLogic® algorithms used in older
systems. It uses various cues in the signal to route sound to the speaker set
according to rules known only to Dolby. An obvious rule is that material
common to the left and right channels is extracted and routed to the center
channel. When the setup parameter for “center spread” is engaged, the center
signal is also spread to the left and right channels.
Dolby Surround can be applied to any signal having 8 or less channels. There is
no point in applying it to signals that have more channels.
DTS Neural-X DTS’s proprietary “Neural-X®” algorithm is applied to the input signal.
Neural-X® is an evolution of the Neo® algorithms used in older systems. It uses
various cues in the signal to route sound to the speaker set according to rules
known only to DTS. An obvious rule is that material common to the left and
right channels is extracted and routed to the center channel.
