How to get multichannel sound from a CD?

Best way to do it; Trifield from a Meridian processor. Dolby Prologic II depending on the pre/pro receiver is also very effective, just a little too live in the rears to be absolutely convincing. The music playback capacity of a prepro is the best way to seperate the good from the ugly. DTS Neo.....sucks 5 channel stereo, like using a dull knife to cut tomatoes. I don't listen in two channel unless I am forced too. If you want some more advice just email me because the 2 channel guys are going to undoubtably chime in with their opinion on how lofi surround is. One day they will come around. That day has not come yet. |
BTW, it ain't the McCormack universal player that has this but, rather, the McCormack MAP-1 preamp. I use it mostly for TV audio but still play CDs in 2channel and SACDs/DVD-As in surround. Most current A/V pre/pros and receivers have several options but the best seem to be the Logic7 (Lexicon, HK?, others?) and the Meridian TriField options. Kal |
What we are talking about is "matrix multichannel". With most any surround decoding system, Dolby, DTS, etc. signal that is out of phase between the two channels goes to the rear speakers. This is very damatic if you play a Test rrecording that has material recorded inphase, and out-of-phase for phasing check purposes. The effectiveness when playing music depends entirely on how the particular recording was mixed. Some stereo recordings that were never intended for multichannel playback are, by accident, dramatic. Most don't work very well. There is no way to tell except to try them. |
