Disclord,
From the patent:
The system is applicable to the decoded signals obtained from a simple matrix decoder using and 4-2-4 quadraphonic matrix encoding and decoding system.
The exact nature and details of the invention can be obtained from the following detailed description of the invention when read in conjunction with the annexed drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a preferred embodiment of the invention in a quadraphonic sound system;
FIG. 2 is a detailed showing of a suitable detector of the invention for application in an SQ quadraphonic sound system;
FIG. 3 is a detailed showing of a suitable detector of the invention for application in a QS quadraphonic sound system;
Please site a reference stating where Martin said the Tate DES would not work for QS as well as SQ. He never told me that.
You may speak of the IC's, which both Jim and Martin said had design flaws, but I was speaking of the Tate DES.
Yes, I was misunderstanding you.
And, yeah, the Tate IC's had some major flaws in them - but, sadly, for SQ, there is absolutely nothing else if you want accurate decoding. I, personally, think the best 'modern' decoding system (NOT for SQ) is DTS Neo:6 - Pro*Logic-II doesn't overwhelm me like it seems to everyone else - in fact, when I first heard it, I was kind of disappointed. Fosgate Six-Axis had been really amazing sounding and, to my ears, PL-II was a step backwards. And Circle Surround sounds like the Sony SQD-2020.
