Surround Sound Panel
This chapter describes the optional Surround Sound Panel, which may be fitted in the original console or as an
upgrade.
The Surround Sound Panel provides full control over surround monitoring. It is functionally divided into two
sections.
The Surround Monitoring Section
This is the upper half of the panel. It provides controls for selecting the Stems and/or external sources to be
monitored and the formats to use for monitoring.
The Stem Control Section
This is the lower half of the panel. It is used to configure the Film Stems and provide recorder control.
In conjunction with the Surround Monitoring section it provides fully configurable routing of Tracks to speakers.
It has a safe mechanism for recorder control (i.e. it can be locked into safe and will not respond to any
accidental commands (e.g. if REC enable is unintentionally enabled it will not go into record).
It also provides bus tape switching (PEC/Direct comparison) on all the tracks installed in the panel.
How the Surround Sound system works
A surround sound setup on the Logic MMC consists of three main parts:
o
Signal sources that are panned.
o
Film stems that accept the panned signals.
o
Film monitoring that controls which stems are output to the speakers.
The signal sources are inputs that are routed to Channels. Panning is always available to a Channel, according
to the pan designators applied to paths (Tracks or Groups) that the Channel is routed to.
