can be less than 16 kHz if the Hi Xover parameter
is set below 16 kHz.
Hi Xover
Range: Off to 16 kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Mid-
and the Hi- Expander and Compressor bands for
the five main channels (LFr, RFr, Cnt, LSr, RSr).

Side Chain Control
(this description is identical to the MD5.1 expla-
nation)
The Sidechain assignment possibilities in the
MDX 5.1 are very comprehensive. Carefully se-
lecting which channels should be controlled by
which Sidechains, is just as essential as dialing
in the correct Threshold and Ratio values.
It is possible to freely select any or none of three
Sidechains to control each of the main-channels.
This also gives you the option of grouping the
channels. In addition to this, the LFE channel has
its own Sidechain control. This enables e.g. set-
ting up two MDX 5.1 algorithms in serial setup,
while having six individual Sidechains available,
enabling fully individual Sidechain controls of all
channels.
At the Feed page it is possible to make additional
Sidechain link Inputs, for e.g. having the Center-
channel contributing to the Sidechain Inputs of
the two Front channels, to create a more coher-
ent sound from the front-channels.
The illustration above reflects the processing pa-
rameter set to MDX 5.1 in Normal mode.
Basic operation
At the Control page it is possible to decide
which Sidechains should control which chan-
nels. Select any of three Sidechains to be as-
signed to any of the five Main-channels. You can
also chose to pass the channels unprocessed
through the algorithm. The LFE channel can be
assigned to its own separate Sidechain, or left
unprocessed.
Setting a channel to unprocessed will preserve
the processing delay through the algorithm,
keeping the channel time-aligned to the other
(processed) channels.
Side Chain Control
Range – for the five main channels:
– Unprocessed
– Side Chain 1
– Side Chain 2
– Side Chain 3
Range – for the LFE channel:
– Unprocessed
– LFE

Side Chain Feed
The Setup/SC Feed page holds parameters
specifying which Input channels should feed the
three Sidechains.
