Q Surround Processor
Monolithic IC MM1454
Outline
This is an analog IC virtual surround processor that faithfully reproduces the sound algorithm developed by Q
SOUND Labs, Inc.
In particular, when a stereo signal (L/Rch) encoded by Dolby Pro Logic is input to this IC, a virtual rear speaker
is created spatially, and this allows reproduction of realistic, 3-dimensional sound from two speakers, without
the addition of another speaker.
Q Xpander technology allows deep, spatially wide sound for input of normal stereo signals, as well.
Virtual Dolby sound is a system developed by Dolby Labs, Inc. that reproduces realistic Pro Logic sound
*
with just two front left and right speakers, so there is no need for the additional two rear speakers and
center speaker normally required for Pro Logic sound.
Dolby and Dolby Surround are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratory Licensing Corporation.
*
The Q Surround virtual processor (MM1454) was developed by Mitsumi Electric, and has not received the
*
certification or authorization of Dolby Laboratory.
Mitsumi Electric has no business ties or other relationship with Dolby Laboratory.

Features
1. Virtual rear speakers allow reproduction of 3-dimensional sound through only two speakers when a Pro
Logic encoded source is input.
2. Also reproduces wide sound for a normal stereo source.
3. 2ch input - 2ch output.
4. Few external parts due to use of the active filter created using Mitsumi's bipolar technology.
5. Low noise design Q Surround ON: 15µVrms
OFF: 10µVrms
6. Simple structure results in small size and low cost.

2 Input voltage amplitude when f = 1kHz and output total higher harmonic distortion is 1%. However,
*
the signals input to SG1 and SG2 must be reverse phase (phase difference 180 degrees).

*
4 Voltage when B/Q pin (Pin 3) is considered to be L (by pass mode).

7 The mute signal for turning off the power amp power supply is output to Pin 4. On this IC, it is
*
recommended that the pop noise generated during power supply fall be muted by turning off the

1 Resistor Tolerance ±1%

2 Capacitor Tolerance ±5%
*
3 The mute signal which switches off the power supply of a power amplifier that is connected with MM1454
*
appears in the 4 terminal. (NOTE 7)
4 The pop noise which occurs in a moment of the power supply switching on is reduced by connecting the
*
capacitor (10uF) between 2PIN and GND. But if the reduced pop noise cause trouble for your application, we
recommend muting the pop noise by the power amplifier that is connected with MM1454.
