Early Reflections
Shape
Room/Hall simulation/approximation. With this control the
EarlyReflectionsoftheReverbarechosen.Sixdistinctively
different room shapes are available:
HALL
The HALL reflection pattern is based on the acoustic
propertiesoftheBostonSymphonyHall,USA.
FAN

the La Scala Concert Hall in Milan, Italy.
PRISM

ratio” shoe box shaped Hall.
H.SHOE
The Horseshoe shaped pattern is based on the
MusikvereinssaalinAustria.
CLUB

club-sized location.
SMALL
The SMALL pattern is an artificially made, relatively small
room.Theroomhasbeenreworkedtominimizesomeof
the unfortunate coloring artifacts that would otherwise have
dominated a room of this size.
Size
Range: 0.040 to 4.000s
Scales the dimensions of the simulated space depending

relatively short, the corresponding volume of the simulated

volume goes from 1.2 cubic meters to 1,280,000 cubic
meters.
Xfeed
Range: On/off
With this parameter switched off, the cross feeds in the
EarlyReflectionswillbekilled.TheERxFeedswitchedoff,
simultaneously with the parameter Rev Width set to 100%,
will create a true stereo Reverb. The effect from the left
and the right channel will be generated totally independent.
ThisisidealforworkingwithDolbysurroundorfor
broadcasting in general where mono compatibility is
important. The feature is also especially applicable for the
film industry and post production suites.

Reverb
Lo Decay
Range:0.01to2.50times
Relative Decay time multiplier for low frequencies.
This parameter responds according to the Lo Xover setting.
Hi Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.00 times
Multiplier for the high frequencies. If Hi Decay e.g. is set
to0.5,theHiDecaytimeishalfthatofthenominalDecay
setting. This parameter responds according to the Hi xOver
setting.
Lo Xover
Range: 20Hz to flat
Sets the crossover frequency for the Decay xLo time
multiplier in 1/3-octave steps.
Hi Xover
Range: 20Hz to flat
Sets the crossover frequency for the Decay x Hi multiplier
in 1/3-octave steps.
Width
Range: 0 to 100 %
