Proximity

To make this effect audible, you need an appropriate reproduction device, for example, a Proximity headphone system.

If you use the Proximity format as input or output configuration, you can select one of the following patterns from the In and Out pop-up menus:

Variable Input, Proximity Output

Converts incoming signals to the Proximity format. This allows you to balance the incoming signals between a standard 5.1 setup and two additional Proximity channels.

Proximity Input, Proximity Output

Allows you to adjust the FX Level in the Proximity signal.

Proximity Input, Variable Output

Decodes the incoming Proximity signal and converts it to any standard output configuration other than 5.1.

Proximity FX Level

Provides the Proximity effect settings.

Maximum

Allows you to set the maximum Proximity effect level that is applied to the input sources.

Distance Control

Allows you to select how the position of the input channels affects the effect level.

You can select an attenuation curve from the pop-up menu:

• Off

  Provides a constant effect level.

• Linear

  The attenuation starts right from the center position and is applied linearly.

• Sinusoidal

  The attenuation starts approximately at loudspeaker distance and increases exponentially with distance.

• Elliptical

  The attenuation starts at two thirds of the stage with an exponential attenuation curve.

Reference

Allows you to select if the distance-based attenuation of the Proximity level depends on the position of the center icon or on the position of each input channel.
