MUSIC SURR
• A proprietary Lexicon listening mode.
• Similar to the MUSIC SURROUND listening mode available in
other Lexicon products.
• Designed for enhanced playback of 2-channel stereo music
sources recorded in real spaces and for playback of recordings
that contain added reverb.
• Extracts ambient sounds from the input source, then sends
these sounds to all speakers. Ambient sounds are heard from all
directions, creating a realistic playback presentation that
simulates what listeners experience in real spaces.
• Recommended for classical music sources.

PLII +
• Designed for playback of Dolby Surround-encoded sources.
• Uses Dolby Pro Logic II decoding to derive five channels from
Dolby Surround-encoded sources.
• Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs
that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie
theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in
home theaters without re-equalization.
• Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences
between the front and surround channels, which results in
smoother sound movements between them.
• Recommended for home theaters with THX-certified speakers.
