Dear Eric, I once had to install a stereo sound piece in a long space with the public along one long side of the space. It had to also be played from a stereo player / amplifier. I coded the stereo as M/S, decreased the M signal by about 6db (i think) & matrixed it back to stereo. I attached the left + right speakers to the amp, and the centre speaker to both L+R (there were 4 speaker outputs). It seemed to work very effectively for both coincident mic recordings and panned mono (moving) signals. This is of course more or less the same as your formula: (L+R)/2 for the centre channel and then increasing the Side component of the signals in the L and R speakers. Something definitely to tweak "live" as it depends on the size, the angle to the audience and the acoustics of the space. best, Justin. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list [email protected] https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
