Chapter 3: eMix Application 31
Folddown
Click the Folddown tab at the bottom of the eMix window to display the Folddown window (see figure below). Folddown supports
rules by which one monitor output format (Format In along the left) is played by a different format (Format Out on top). For ex-
ample, to play a 5.1-channel mix in LCRS, the Boom channel could be attenuated 6 dB and mapped to all channels, and the Sl
and Sr mapped to the S channel without attenuation.
To maintain all audio information present in the original format, each Format In channel is usually mapped to some channels
in the Format Out. However, this is not mandatory and there are some good reasons not to do so. For example, one might choose
to omit the Boom channel because the speakers in the output format cannot handle bass below a certain frequency.
Click in any cell and type in the amount of attenuation (-17 to 0 dB) that the Format Out channel will undergo as it is routed to
the Format In channel. Drag across multiple cells to enter an amount for all selected cells. Right-click selected cells to display a
menu with two options:
• Clear: Clears values so no signal is routed.
• Default: Sets cells to their factory default values. This occurs even in a stored preset.
There are 24 presets available to store and recall different Folddown settings. The Recall Preset and Store Preset buttons are on the
top right of the window.
