300 V 3.0 <strong>Owner's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><strong>Lexicon</strong>Stereo Adjust DC Offsets PageDCSW (DC Offset Nulling)This control provides three choices: RESET, MANUAL ADJUST and AUTOADJUST. RESET disables all DC adjustment. AUTO ADJUST enables routinesfor correcting DC offset from material recorded through analog-to-digital convertersthat are not properly trimmed for DC. MANUAL ADJUST allows Softknobselection of offset values.L-DC and R-DC(Lch and Rch DC Offset)Replaces any previously obtained value with the value set here via the soft knob.The display indicates the percent of the correction.SHUF (Binaural Shuffler)SHUF controls a spatial equalizer designed to make recordings from a dummyhead, or closely-spaced omni microphones, more suitable for loudspeakerreproduction. Due to the close spacing of the microphones, there is very littledifference between the two stereo channels below about 300Hz. The shufflerrestores the low frequency separation by first matrixing the L and R signals intoL+R and L-R, bass-boosting the L-R channel, then rematrixing back to L and R.The effect is to convert small time differences (which are not audible inloudspeaker reproduction) between the two microphones into level differences,which are audible. The effect can be dramatic.The frequency below which the boost acts is set by the SHUF control. A settingof 5 will give a 3dB L-R boost at about 150Hz; a setting of 10 will be 3dB up at250Hz. Response rises at 6dB/octave below this frequency. More than 18dB ofgain can be obtained at 20Hz when SHUF is set to 10.This control has been optimized for true binaural recordings, where the differencesignal at low frequencies is minimal. If it is used on ordinary stereo material,or with binaural material to which reverberation has been added, excessive lowfrequency difference signals can result. On such material, it is better to use theSPEQ control which will achieve a similar result.The SHUF control varies from 0 (shuffler off) to a maximum of 10. While theorywould suggest a setting of 10 for a dummy head, a setting of 5 appears to be moreuseful in practice. The setting is very much a matter of taste. If closely spacedmicrophones are used, the setting will scale inversely with the microphonedistance in centimeters. For a spacing of 15cm, try a shuffler setting of 5. For aspacing of 30cm, try a setting of 3. For a spacing of 7cm, try a setting of 10.4-22
