VSS™SR - SURROUND

Early Bal

(-100dB R, Center, -100dB L) the left/right balance of the Early Reflections. Allows you to offset the Early Reflections from the normal center position.

Hi Color

(±50) Adjusts the spectral balance of the Early Type. The Hi Color parameter is actually an advanced Hi Cut parameter. The default setting of this parameter is customized to each of the Early Types.

Lo Cut

(20 - 400Hz) This adjustable filter removes low frequencies for the Early Reflections.

Reverb Tail

Rev Type

(Smooth, Natural, Metal, Fast, Fast WD) Adjust this parameter with the Early Lev turned all the way off and the Rev Lev all the way up. Change the type to get a feel of what each one sounds like.

Rev Depth

With this parameter you can change the depth of the reverb tail.

Diffuse

(±50) This parameter gives you more or less diffusion than the algorithm designer intended for the given Decay time. For optimum performance the diffusion is automatically adjusted behind the scenes whenever you change decay times. This parameter gives you the added control to vary the diffusion around this automatic setting.

Hi Cut

(20 - 20kHz) Rolls off the top end as it enters the Reverb tail. Used in conjunction with Hi Soften and Hi Decay to "darken" a room.

Hi Soften

(+/-50) Hi Soften is a special filter used to "soften" the high frequencies of Reverb tail. This is not a simple Hi Cut filter but a complex set of filters working together to remove those frequencies that make a reverb sound "brittle" or harsh sounding. Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the Hi Cut and

Hi Decay parameters.

Hi Decay

(0.01 - 2.5) Multiplier for the frequencies above the Hi Xover frequency. Example: If the main Decay parameter is set to

2.0sec and the Hi Decay parameter is set to 1.5, frequencies above the Hi-Xover will decay for 3.0 sec. Conversely if this parameter is set to 0.5 the Decay time above the Hi Xover point will be 1 sec.

Hi Xover

(500Hz - 20kHz) sets the frequency at which the transition from the mid frequencies to the high frequencies takes place.

Mid Decay

(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the mid frequencies. This parameter is normally set to 1.0 as it is the main parameter adjusted by the main Decay parameter. This mid-range decay control would normally be omitted, however, TC Engineers felt you could use this parameter as a fine adjustment tool to “tweak” a preset to sound just right without having to adjust the master Decay parameter.

Mid Xover

(200Hz - 2kHz) Sets the frequency at which the transition from the low-mid to the mid frequencies takes place.

Lo mid Decay

(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the low-mid frequencies

Lo Xover

(20Hz - 500Hz) Sets the frequency at which the transition from the low to the low-mid frequencies takes place.

Lo Decay

(0.01 - 2.5) The Ratio control multiplier for the low frequencies.

Lo Damp Freq

(20Hz - 200Hz) Sets the Lo Cut frequency for the next parameter, Lo Damp. Use these two parameters to take away any objectionable low frequencies entering the Reverb tail processor.

Lo Damp

(-18dB - 0dB) Sets the amount of cut in dBs. Used with the previous parameter, Lo Damp Freq.
