Crossfeed
The Crossfeed switch allows you to adjust the frequency-dependent
crossfeed simulation of both channels by adjustments of interaural
level difference – as if this characteristic would be heard from mon-
itors when in their own room ambiance. One can compare variations
in crossfeed values as approximating the influence of different room
sizes and characteristics on a given loudspeaker setup.
This adjustment can be made in six steps ranging from “minimum” to
“maximum”. Crossfeed interacts with the Angle value to simulate the
width of a stereo image (please refer to the next section).
For further information regarding simulation of a specific loudspeaker
playback setup, please refer to “Adjust Headphone Reproduction To
Loudspeaker Monitoring“ on page 26.
Angle
The Angle switch provides for frequency-dependent simulation of your
stereo image width by adjustments of interaural time difference. This
influences the moment in time at which a signal‘s wave form arrives
at the ear and corresponds to a particular variation in the angle of an
actual loudspeaker pair.
The time constants of the interaural time differences between the left
and right channels occur within a range of 90 to 635 microseconds.
Compare the table “Crossfeed and Angle Parameters” on page 21.
We recommend to start with the figures of the accentuated lines from
this mathematically-based table for a given monitoring setup. As you
might expect, however, the best results can only occur when you fol-
low the recommendations and then as needed, carefully engage in
your own additional fine tuning, especially between Angle and the
Crossfeed value.

er playback, please refer to “Adjust Headphone Reproduction To
