Are the crossovers/bass management, speaker distances, trim levels, and EQ settings active in Direct mode? When the unit is fed a Multi channel PCM signal, what is the difference between ALL STEREO and DIRECT modes? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

"All Stereo" uses all of the channels to produce stereo. So the LF produces the left channel, the LS also produces the left channel and the LR produces the left channel. And similarly the RF produces the right channel, the RS also produces the right channel and the RR produces the right channel. The Centre seems to produce a combination of the left and right channels.
Merry Xmas

No bass management in direct mode - it's pure 2.0. Don't know about the EQ, etc... though, but I would guess no as well. You could test it by messing with the settings on 1 channel and see if you hear your changes.

Direct is just that no tone control

Merry Xmas Gary I thought "All Stereo" was like "Party Mode"... in other words, if you gave it a 2.0 signal and you had 7 speakers, it would matrix a center, put the left channel in all your left speakers, and put the right channel in all your right-side speakers... which is kind of the opposite of what you're saying. |

Nope, that's exactly what I posted. Merry Xmas Gary |

Gary's right - you 2 are saying the exact same thing.

Direct mode in the UMC-200 behaves differently depending on the source signal being analog or digital!
1. An analog signal in Direct "is" Direct
2. A digital signal in Direct still has to be converted to analog in the UMC-200. The filter chain is laid out in a way that bass management will always be applied here.
3. All Channel Stereo for a digital signal would also apply the EQ in addition to bass management. For a 2.0 signal it would also map this to all speakers.
You can find a lot more indepth information regarding this while digging through the boards, including graphics, measurements etc.

I thought you were saying the LF, LS, etc. channels from the source all got thrown into the LF (aka "Left") speaker... must've been a long night lol  |
