DISCRETE MONO

SETTING UP YOUR SOUND STAGE:

CONNECT your PC to your home theatre amplifier with HDMI

Make sure your receiver is set to Dolby Digital and not to a matrix encoding

Please arrange your left and right side or rear speakers to the FRONT
THIS WILL GIVE YOU A SOUND STAGE rather than a surround effect

STREAMING AC3 TO YOUR SOUND STAGE

Open VLC on your local PC/Mac/Linux
Click on "Media" and select "Open Network Stream"

Copy and paste one of the AC3 files in its entirety

from this page into the URL slot of VLC. Click on the play icon in VLC

ENJOY

These are experimental and educational mixes intended to investigate the merits of a Sound Stage using the Discrete Mono approach to mixing rather than stereo, quadraphonic or surround sound

The multitrack sources are from the UK
