Conference Paper

A New Active Matrix Decoder for Surround Sound

Authors: Gundry, Kenneth

AES Conference: 19th International Conference: Surround Sound - Techniques, Technology, and Perception · Paper 1905 · June 2001

Abstract

The decoder employs control signals derived from the signal outputs rather than the inputs, that is, using feedback analogous to an output-controlled limiter. This leads to tighter tolerances, excellent crosstalk figures and improved dynamics. It gives good performance on matrix-encoded sources but also very pleasing results on un-encoded two-channel material. The paper discusses the principles and their benefits.
