Each signal is a single channel and effectively mutes all of the CR
output mix channels except for the SOLO’d component. Example, if you
SOLO the CENTER, only the CENTER speaker is heard. If you SOLO
the R-Rear, only the right rear speaker is heard.
Surround Pan System
This section provides a set of controls to pan an
input fader signal anywhere in the 5.1 Mix bus. Input
fader signals may be mono, stereo, or 5.1 signals. The
surround panner is accessed by pressing an input SET
button.
Note: Normally 5.1 source signals are routed to
input faders that have been configured as surround
inputs. Routing a 5.1 signal to a stereo input fader will
get just the L-R front signals.
PROGRAMMING A CHANNEL FOR SUR-
ROUND SOUND: Select the channel you with to
program by pressing its SET button. Assign it to the 5.1
destination by means of the ASSIGN switchbank on
the MXM-D12 panel.
The 5.1 SURROUND section will indicate the
current settings of the encoder LT/RT, FRONT/REAR,
SURR/CENTER, and LFE knobs.
The meterbridge display will also show a multi-
color graphic representation of this system. The system
can generate 5.1 signals from MONO or STEREO
sources, and can modify the 5.1 signal of existing
5.1 input sources. Double-clicking any of the en-
coders will return that parameter to its default
setting (for example, LT/RT returns to center).
LT/RT - rotary knob moves the signal left to
right; dobbying the knob centers signal.
FRONT/REAR - rotary knob moves the signal
front to back, dobbying the knob centers signal.
SURR/CENTER - rotary knob controls the
ratio of CENTER imaging. Full left removes signal
from CENTER and is applied to the LT/RT and
FRONT/REAR panner, full right pans signal to
CENTER only.
LFE - rotary knob controls level of signal sent
to subwoofer channel.
