How does the D8B handle surround mixing?
The D8B has a very easy-to-use surround matrix, which allows you to position and automate every channel of audio in a surround mode (LCRS, Quad, 5.1, and 7.1) by using the mouse. All surround mixing is done through the eight sub busses and you can bus a surround mix out digitally to an eight-track MDM while you monitor the mix out of the dedicated analog Sub/Surround outputs. With new Version 3.0 Depth of Center and Low Frequency Enhancement parameters, the D8B offers a very powerful surround-mixing environment.
