VSS-5.1 Source Introduction
The“VSS-5.1Source”algorithmisaneasytouse
5.1-surroundReverb.FourdiscreteInputsourcescan
individually be positioned in the sound field. Input four
sources or four composite sources (eg. 4 Auxes or
Groups), choose a Location type and Output format.
High-qualityEarlyReflectionpatternsandfiveun-correlated
Reverbs are integrated in this algorithm. The extensive
EarlyReflectionpatternscanbeenabledtomaximize
localization and widen the sweet spot. Consistent localization
evenoutsidethespeakerarrayscanbeobtained.

whether you want to have the dry signal passed through
the algorithm or not. In some cases it may prove to be a
help to pass both wet and dry signal through the algorithm
to obtain precise localization.

perceived frequency response from the Reverb. The Color
parameters substitutes what is normally available as
split-filters and frequency divided decay-times (multipliers).
