some reflections.

Based upon perceptual experiments, we have found that 

reducing particular reflections is a method most useful 

for optimizing the room response to a given microphone 

placement. The 0% setting enables the full response, 

which should be preferred for very closely mic’ed sources, 

while 100% ER Decrease is useful for sources picked up at 

a distance.

Note: 1st order reflections have hit one surface before 

arriving at the listener, 2nd order reflections two surfaces 

etc. High order reflections are often more diffuse than 

low order ones. In System 6000 this effect is emulated 

by assigning individual diffusion characteristics to each 

reflection. More information about how to make the most of 

these vital possibilities is available in the paragraph “Early 

Reflections working for You”.

Reverb Level

Range: Off to 0dB

Master output Level control of the Diffuse Field response.

Setup

Location

Location

Location Type

Select between different Locations. Both the Early 

Reflection and Diffuse Field characteristics are changed 

when switching Location to give the optimal starting point 

for further adjustments.

Variation

For some of the Locations it is also possible to select 

between different variations of the same Location. 

Experiment and select the most appropriate Variation type 

for your application.

Output Format

Output Format

Selects Output (and Input) Format. 5.1 is normally chosen 

for the domestic speaker arrangement, ITU 775, while 6.1 

is selected for Cinema formats like DTS ES and Dolby EX. 

6.1 mode may also be chosen for SACD 6.0 reproduction.

Note: The algorithm I/O assignments change when this 

parameter is operated.

Center Channel

Range: Off/On/Pseudo On/ Reverb Only

Enables on/off switching of the Center speaker in the two 

multi-channel modes.The Phantom setting is a patent 

pending feature that sometimes makes the Center speaker 

integrate in a more “music friendly” than a standard On 

setting.

Levels

In Level

Range: Off to 0dB

Master Input Level Control for all channels, wet and dry 

signals.

Out Level

Range: Off to 0dB

Master Output Level Control for all channels, wet and dry 

signals.
