Introduction
The Multiband 5.1 algorithm is a multi-channel,
multi-band optimizer, with Limiters and exten-
sive possibilities to assign channels to multiple
sidechains.
Four-band dynamics are available for 5.1 pro-
cessing.
With the Multiband 5.1 it is possible to integrate
dynamics processing for 5.1 applications offer-
ing features, which are not possible if using mul-
tiple stereo dynamic processors.
Multiband 5.1 processor contains:
– 5 channels of three band expansion and com-
pression
– Full-range brickwall limiter on all Outputs
– 1 channel of full range expansion, compres-
sion and limiting for the LFE (Sub) channel
– 3 Sidechains for the five main channels, that
can be assigned in flexible ways
– 1 extra Input channel that can be used for ex-
ternal Side Chain Input.

At the Main page, you have access to the general
set-up parameters for the Expander and Com-
pressor sections.
Meters are shown for all seven Inputs and six
Outputs at the right of the display.
Band Xover Frequencies
Lo Xover
Range: Off to 16 kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Lo-
and the Mid- Expander and Compressor bands
for the five main channels (LFr, RFr, Cnt, LSr,
RSr).
The two Cross-over points are not allowed to
cross each other. Therefore the parameter range
can be less than 16 kHz if the Hi Xover parameter
is set below 16 kHz.
Hi Xover
Range: Off to 16 kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Mid-
and the Hi- Expander and Compressor bands for
the five main channels (LFr, RFr, Cnt, LSr, RSr).
The two cross-over points are not allowed to
cross each other. Therefore the parameter range
can be less than going down to Off, if the Lo
Xover parameter is set above the Off position.
