Phonitor Matrix
When listening to music with a traditional headphone amplifier, the right ear only per-
ceives the right signal (red line) and the left ear only perceives the left signal (green line).
In contrast to listening to speakers the delayed and quieter signal of the respective
opposite side is missing. As a result to this super-stereo-effect reverb and delay effects
as well as EQ and panorama adjustments are perceived more intense on headphones.
The Phonitor Matrix calculates the interaural time difference (Speaker Angle) and inter-
aural level difference (Crossfeed) with their specific frequency responses to deliver a
speaker-like listening experience on headphones.
The super-stereo-effect is eliminated and reverb and delay effects as well as EQ and
panorama adjustments are perceived correctly on headphones. The headphone mix
therefore translates well to speakers.
With the Phonitor Matrix switch you activate and deactivate the Phonitor Matrix. You
can control the intensity of the Crossfeed with the Crossfeed potentiometer at the front.
