Re: [Avid-L2] Monitoring Surround

 

Various options. MC lets you output multichannel audio over HDMI. So if you get any home theater receiver, you can route the hdmi signal through that. Another advantage is that most of these come with a lip sync correction feature, so that you may compensate for your monitor's delay.

If you have active speakers, you may prefer a pre-amp with balanced outputs. I own a Denon professional preprocessor, A7100, that they no longer make, but the replacing mode lis the DN 500av.

This does not give you a mixer, but it does give you master room volume control. If you need a mixer, you need a BOB that gives you 5.1 i/o and a mixer with at least two stereo buses or 4 aux sends, om top of a stereo master output. I have my Yamaha 01V set up that way. Master L/R is L/R, Bus1/2 is C/Lfe, bus 3/4 is Ls/Rs (SMPTE order). Advantage is that any other sources (CD player, computer's internal audio card, etc.) can be hooked to any input of the 01V, and if i send them to the master output, they are played back over the L and R speaker.
