FEATURES OVERVIEW

3.6.5 – “RUMBLE” FILTER
Each of the 8 input channels has an optional high-pass lter at the beginning of the DSP chain. This is
intended to be used as a “rumble lter”, removing microphone handling noise or the “thump” that may
occur when bumping a turntable.
The rumble lters can only be controlled from the K-Mix Editor.
3.7 – STEREO PANNING
K-Mix allows you to individually set each channel’s left/right panning for each of the four output bus pairs
(Main, Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3).
All stereo panning parameters can be adjusted directly from the K-Mix hardware or the K-Mix Editor.
3.8 – SURROUND PANNING
In addition to stereo panning, K-Mix is able to leverage its multiple outputs and rotary controls to spatialize
audio in multiple surround sound formats.
3.8.1 – MULTIPLE SPEAKER LAYOUTS
K-Mix’s surround panning is able to work with a number of standard speaker congurations. Quad, 5.1, 7.1,
and Octophonic.
The speakers are laid out as follows:
All surround formats begin with speaker 1 at the front-left position and increment clockwise. This may
run contrary to established 5.1 and 7.1 lm standards, but it makes plugging output channels into the
appropriate speakers much easier.
The surround speaker layout parameter may only be adjusted from the K-Mix Editor.
3.8.2 – AMBISONICS
K-Mix utilizes Ambisonics panning algorithms to ensure a high quality soundstage when working in a
surround sound environment.
