• Meridian Meridian 565, DSP presets 42 The discrete digital formats can encode up to eight separate channels, which can be decoded to provide separate signals to the eight speakers in a surround configuration. Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a totally digital format capable of encoding five full frequency-range channels, together with one restricted frequency-range channel used for extreme bass. The digital surround processor’s Dolby Digital preset is capable of decoding the range of different options provided by Dolby Digital. In addition, it provides bass power management to protect systems from the potentially high bass levels that Dolby Digital can produce. DTS DTS is un

• Meridian Meridian 565, Customising the digital surround processor 21 Customising the digital surround processor In addition to being able to change the source, volume, and DSP preset, the digital surround processor provides a sophisticated range of more advanced adjustments for each DSP preset, to allow you to tailor the sound. This chapter explains how to change these parameters, and gives detailed instructions for adjusting the parameters that are common to most of the DSP presets. For information about the parameters specific to individual presets see DSP presets, page 33.

• Meridian Meridian 565, DSP presets 39 Ambisonic The Ambisonic DSP preset is designed for replaying material encoded in UHJ format, the two-channel stereo-compatible encoding found on Ambisonically-recorded discs and broadcasts. This material is specifically encoded for surround reproduction and can give breathtakingly realistic sound when replayed using the digital surround processor. Ambisonic surround sound is quite unlike conventional stereo. A special microphone technique picks up the sound of the original performance in all three dimensions, allowing an archive to be made which describes the sound field exactly at that position. The microphone signals are then encoded u

• Meridian Meridian 565, Introduction 3 Three-channel stereo system Five-channel surround system Sample configurations The first step you can take in exploring the benefits of surround sound is to add a centre speaker to the left and right speakers of a conventional stereo system. An ideal choice is the Meridian M60C Active Loudspeaker, which can be connected directly to the 565. The digital surround processor takes advantage of the additional speaker to create a more realistic and stable three-dimensional image of the original recorded sound for outstanding music and cinema reproduction.
