3 QuantumLogic Surround Technology QuantumLogic s Aesthetic Engine digitally remodels extracted signal streams into an infinitely variable soundstage. Patented spatial filter bank technology provides psychoacoustic modeling for transparent digital processing and a perfect acoustic reconstruction. QuantumLogic Surround creates an unprecedented surround sound experience from any mono, stereo or multi-channel signal source. HARMAN QuantumLogic - the benchmark for surround sound listening into the future.

4 QuantumLogic Technology 2/5/7 Channel Signal Input QLS Aesthetic Engine: Stream Extraction Reverb Extraction Signal Decomposition Original Signal Reference User Influence QLS functions in the frequency domain unlike other upmixers that function within the time domain. Multiple Streams Multiple Streams QLS identifies Spatial Slices from the soundstage and re-asserts them into a surround sound format. QLS extracts reverberation from the original 2, 5.1 or 7.1 channel signal source and generates multiple channels for redistribution. Signal Analysis Speech Detect Mono Detect Aesthetic Engine Psychoacoustic Modeling and 3D Rendering Mixer Post Processing Delays/Levels Process Control Process Control Multiple Channels Audio Output

5 Spatial Filterbank

6 Stereo Soundstage QuantumLogic Spatial Slices Stereo Mode Soundstage Composition Spatial slices can be represented by a single source instrument, vocalist or sound effect. Identifying the staged location of a particular source within the stereo image enables the creation of an expanded, enveloping sound stage around a listening point. This may represent the sweet spot or any other location depicted by the listener. By panning the spatial slices around the listening space in a controlled manner, it is possible to sculpt a totally stable surround sound playback environment. Working with the individual spatial slices enables unprecedented accuracy in spectral and spatial balance. L C R
