Meridian Audio 541 Manuale Utente

Music presets

The 541 Surround Controller provides two alternative presets

designed to enhance traditional stereo recordings and

broadcasts.

The music presets, Music and Trifield, are designed to give new

life to conventional stereo recordings and broadcasts. They

integrate a centre channel, and add ambience, to take

advantage of the additional loudspeakers in a surround system.

In addition, a Stereo preset is provided for comparison with the

surround options:

Recordings and broadcasts intended

for normal stereo reproduction.

Recordings and broadcasts intended

for normal stereo reproduction.

For comparison, or binaural/transaural

material.

Each of the music presets can be used for reproducing material

originally designed for a conventional stereo pair of

loudspeakers, and the choice of which to choose largely

depends on your own personal preferences.

Music uses special processing techniques to give a wider, more

spacious sound, especially suitable for orchestral music.

Trifield gives a precise spatial image, suitable for all types of

music, and is ideal for solo instrument or vocal music where a

wider image may seem unnatural.

Both presets use the same procedure to extract the surround

component of the original recording, which is delivered to the

rear surround loudspeakers.

Stereo is provided for comparison with the other presets, and

uses just the main left and right loudspeakers for traditional two-

channel reproduction.
