Crossfeed, Speaker Angle
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 moni-
tors 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 Speaker Angle value to simu-
late the width of a stereo image (please refer to the next section).
For further information regarding simulation of a specific loudspeak-
er playback setup, please refer to the “Quick Guide To Headphone
Monitoring“ on page 25.
Speaker Angle
The Speaker Angle switch provides for frequency-dependent simula-
tion of your stereo image width by adjustments of interaural time dif-
ference. 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 Speaker Angle Parameters” on page
19. 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
follow the recommendations and then as needed, carefully engage in
your own additional fine tuning, especially between Speaker Angle and
the Crossfeed value.

playback, please refer to the “Quick Guide To Headphone Monitoring“
