Neural® Surround DownMix™ + Neural Loudness Control
5.1 surround sound mixes often have wide dynamic ranges that require loudness control when down-mixed to stereo. DownMix+NLC 2.0 provides all of the functionality of the stand-alone DownMix and Neural Loudness Control products in a single piece of hardware.
Applications
Mobile Production Trucks, Production Studios, DTV and digital radio facilities
