Signal Flow for a 5.2 Home Theater

With the Flex HT or HTx you can convert 7.1 Dolby or DTS into 5.2 without losing any program material content. 

In this example we mix the left and right surround channels with the left and rear surround channels to create a composite left and right surround channel. For bass management we merge all the low frequencies from the left and right front, LFE and center channels into the bass management channel, which is then split for dual subwoofers. 

This configuration provides complete control over all 5.1 channels, with full independent Dirac Live, PEQ, gain and delay adjustment capabilities.
