| Keeping tabs on all the parameters of surround sound projects is a lot of work for sound engineers producing in stereo so far - there are five channels contributing to the surround effect, and their relative levels, loudness balance and correlation have to constantly be monitored. To do this effectively, the RTW engineers developed an instrument that shows more than the individual channels, one that provides the relationships between all its components - the RTW Surround Sound Analyzer. Firstly integrated into SurroundMonitor 10800X, the Surround Sound Analyzer calculates the dynamic relationships between the parameters of all channels and displays them in a graphical image of the surround sound space. Everything needed can be seen at a glance, including loudness relationships, the positions of dominant and phantom sound sources, centre channel presence and signal components with negative correlations. Including the 10-way multi-correlator (in addition to Surround Sound Analyzer), the 31-band RTA, the real-time audio vectorscope and the AES/EBU status monitor, SurroundMonitor 10800X provides further instruments for comprehensive audio monitoring. These instruments have been modified over the years and are available with the current devices and software products. to the interactive demonstration of the Surround Sound Analyzer > |
