Reverb8
Introduction
Reverb 8 is a new reverb algorithm for System
6000 MKII. It has been developed for arbitrary
channel counts from 8 and up.
With a flexible “Lego brick” topology, Reverb 8
makes the best of new high channel density car-
riers such as NHK Super Hi-vision, Dolby At-
mos, Barco Auro and of custom installations
where multichannel, high-performance audio is
a key element.
Besides from creating more credible envelop-
ment from many loudspeaker channels than
what is achievable using a microphone array in
a real room, Reverb8 mixes down perfectly and
predictably like other decorrelated signals.
In short: An important development goal has
been not to waste loudspeakers – the more dis-
crete channels there are, the better envelop-
ment will be.
The inputs and outputs of this algorithm can be
distributed quite flexibly, as described in this
chapter.
Software update and
license requirements
Reverb8 runs on all System 6000 MKII units and
requires a separate license. It is not part of any
algorithm bundle.
Make sure you have downloaded and in-
stalled the newest version both of TC Icon
software and System 6000 MKII firmware,
as described in “Software: TC Icon and System
6000 MKII firmware” (page 1).
Reverb8 Presets
Once TC Icon software and the System 6000
MKII firmware have been updated, you will find
ten Reverb8 Presets in Engine Bank F8 / Dec.
9 – see Fig1.

System 6000 MKII Engine Banks (F8 – Dec. 9)
Scene Presets
You will also find three dual-engine Scene Pre-
sets in Scene Bank F1 / Dec. 2 – see Fig.2.

8 in the Factory Bank (F1 – Dec.2)
The output routing from the System 6000 MKII
frame for the Scene presets should be as follows
(channel names follow the SMPTE 2036 naming
convention):
►
1: Top Front L, TpFL
►
2: Top Front R, TpFR
►
3: Top Front C, TpFC
►
4: Top Back C, TpBC
►
5: Top Back L, TpBL
►
6: Top Back R, TpBR
►
7: Top Side L, TpSiL
►
8: Top Side R, TpSiR
