ST Mode and LCR Mode
The STEREO buses are used for outputting signals to the main speakers. Signals can be sent to a STEREO bus in one of two modes, ST mode or LCR mode, and you can make this selection individually for each channel. These modes differ in the following ways.
ST mode
This method sends signals independently from the input and MIX channels to each of the STEREO A and B buses.
- The signals sent to the STEREO A bus and STEREO B bus can be switched on/off individually.
- The pan of the signal sent from the input channel or MIX channel to L/R of the STEREO A bus or STEREO B bus is controlled by the TO ST PAN knob.
About MONO
By using the L/R PATH pull-down menu in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, STEREO B can be set to MONO. If it is set to MONO, the same signal will be output to both the L and R of STEREO B.
LCR mode
This method sends the signals from the input and MIX channels to a total of three buses: STEREO A (L and R) and STEREO B (C) simultaneously.
- The signals sent to the STEREO A bus and STEREO B bus can be switched on/off together.
- The level difference between the signals sent from the input channel or MIX channel to the STEREO A (L and R) buses and to the STEREO B (C) bus can be set using the CSR (center/side ratio) knob.
- The level of the signal sent from the input channel or MIX channel to the STEREO A (L and R) buses and the STEREO B (C) bus will change according to the settings of the TO ST PAN knob and the BALANCE knob.
NOTE
- When using LCR mode, set STEREO B to MONO.
- STEREO B is used as the CENTER channel.
