Using Xpand with XMon to Implement 9.1.2 or 7.1.4


The Xpand surround control unit may be configured for different monitor formats.  Currently we can implement the three following selections, there may be more that we will need to implement in the future! In all modes the outputs are only enabled when both main Input and Main Output are selected,  the outputs follow the master gain control and have individual gain trims and mutes.

Eight Channel
8 additional channels with no surround control or bass extension.

5.1/7.1/7.1.4 or 5.1/7.1/9.1.2
In these modes Xpand includes speaker routing for 5.1 and 7.1 as well as 7.1.4 or 9.1.2. Summing and Low Pass is also provided for rear left and right surround bass extension,


To switch from 7.1.4 to 7.1 - Xpand turns off top speakers
To switch from 7.1 to 5.1 - Xpand connects Rear speakers to Left and Right Surround and adjust surround levels.


To switch from 9.1.2 to 7.1 - Xpand turns off top speakers, connects Front surrounds to Left and Right Surrounds and adjust Surround Levels

To switch from 7.1 to 5.1 - Xpand connects Rear speakers to Left and Right Surround and adjust surround levels.

The 5,1, 71, and Rear BassX are available as user keys on the TMC-1 or on the Xpand App. You can select the speaker layout from the TMC-1 Menu or from the Xpand App.
