To adjust Center Percentage:
Adjust the Center Percentage knob as appro-
priate.
As you reduce the Center Percentage value, the
center speaker at the top of the Grid becomes
less visible. At 0, the center speaker is com-
pletely invisible, reflecting the setting for fully
phantom center.
LFE Faders in Multichannel
Panners
The LFE fader controls how much of the track is
sent to LFE. LFE faders are only available when a
track is assigned to a path whose format sup-
ports LFE (5.1, 6.1, or 7.1).
To mix to the LFE channel:
Adjust the LFE fader in any “.1” surround for-
mat Output window.
LFE Faders and Groups
Track and send LFE faders can follow Mix and
Edit Groups by being enabled in the Group At-
tributes page in either the Create Groups or
Modify Groups dialog. LFE faders can be as-
signed to follow groups as a global attribute or
on a group by group basis.
LFE Enable
Some multichannel plug-ins, including the mul-
tichannel DigiRack Dynamics III Compres-
sor/Limiter, provide LFE Enable. This lets you
enable or bypass processing of the LFE channel
if present.
To process the LFE channel in a multichannel plug-
in:
Click to enable LFE Enable in supporting mul-
tichannel plug-ins. LFE Enable is highlighted
when LFE processing is enabled, and unhigh-
lighted when LFE processing is bypassed.
Center % set to 0 (no center speaker shown)
For general information about LFE, sub
channels, and related topics, see the
Pro Tools Sync & Surround Concepts Guide.

When LFE Enable is unavailable, try using
the multi-mono version of the plug-in.
