• Spread slider and field: Determines the spread of the stereo base in LR input signals.<br />
Determines the level of the side signal in MS input signals. See Using the Direction<br />
Mixer’s Spread Parameter.<br />
• Direction knob and field: Determines the pan position for the middle—the c<strong>en</strong>ter of<br />
the stereo base—of the recorded stereo signal. See Using the Direction Mixer’s Direction<br />
Parameter.<br />
Using the Direction Mixer’s Spread Parameter<br />
The Direction Mixer’s Spread parameter behavior changes wh<strong>en</strong> fed LR or MS signals.<br />
These differ<strong>en</strong>ces are outlined below.<br />
Wh<strong>en</strong> working with LR signals, the following applies to the Direction Mixer’s Spread<br />
parameter:<br />
• At a neutral value of 1, the left side of the signal is positioned precisely to the left and<br />
the right side precisely to the right. As you decrease the Spread value, the two sides<br />
move toward the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo image.<br />
• A value of 0 produces a summed mono signal—both sides of the input signal are routed<br />
to the two outputs at the same level. At values greater than 1, the stereo base is<br />
ext<strong>en</strong>ded out to an imaginary point beyond the spatial limits of the speakers.<br />
The following applies wh<strong>en</strong> working with MS signals:<br />
• Values of 1 or higher increase the level of the side signal, making it louder than the<br />
middle signal.<br />
• At a value of 2, you hear only the side signal.<br />
Using the Direction Mixer’s Direction Parameter<br />
Wh<strong>en</strong> Direction is set to a value of 0, the midpoint of the stereo base in a stereo recording<br />
is perfectly c<strong>en</strong>tered within the mix.<br />
The following applies wh<strong>en</strong> working with LR signals:<br />
• At 90°, the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo base is panned hard left.<br />
• At -90°, the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo base is panned hard right.<br />
• Higher values move the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo base back toward the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo<br />
mix, but this also has the effect of swapping the stereo sides of the recording. For<br />
example, at values of 180° or -180°, the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the stereo base is dead c<strong>en</strong>ter in the<br />
mix, but the left and right sides of the recording are swapped.<br />
The following applies wh<strong>en</strong> working with MS signals:<br />
• At 90°, the middle signal is panned hard left.<br />
• At -90°, the middle signal is panned hard right.<br />
