Divergence Controls
Divergence determines the width of the panned
signal with respect to neighboring speakers. (For
more information, see “Divergence” on
page 503.) There are three Divergence controls
Front, Rear, and F/R Divergence Provide sepa-
rate, automatable divergence control over front
speakers, rear speakers, and between front/rear,
respectively.
LFE Fader
The LFE fader is only available in “.1” surround
formats (5.1, 6.1, and 7.1).
The LFE fader determines how much of the cur-
rent track’s signal will be routed to the LFE
channel. LFE faders in Track and Send windows
can follow groups. The Pro Tools LFE channel is
always full-bandwidth. For more information
on how to use the LFE fader, see “LFE Faders in
Multichannel Panners” on page 533.

modes. Both can be automated.
