System 6000 is an industry milestone. It is a proven fact that processors have made a genuine leap forward during the past 10 years. System 6000 was honored with the prestigious TEC award in year 2000, but its software and processing capabilities have developed immensely since then. This development path offers System 6000 users a wealth of free additions and new license possibilities.
A System 6000 without additional licenses, AKA Reverb 6000, contains dozens of pristine reverb, delay and boundary effects for any format from mono, stereo, LCR, LtRt to 5.1 and 6.1. Among the hundreds of presets available, the Halls of Fame bank and the Skywalker Sound Collection provides presets created by some of the most respected people in the music and film industry. With internal double precision processing, superb jitter rejection and reference quality AD and DA converters, no other reverb on the planet comes close to the resolution and performance of Reverb 6000.
Numerous license extensions are available in order to turn the 6000 into a mastering processor, monitor matrix, format converter and much more.

Reverb 6000 and Mastering 6000 offers the same core structure, features and hardware configurations, and therefore the following is valid for both products.
The heart of Reverb 6000 and Mastering 6000 is the Mainframe 6000 housing all processing, physical input/output and connections for external control. The main control surface is the TC Icon remote-head and CPU, which easily connect via Ethernet to the Mainframe. The TC Icon remote are also available as software editors for both Mac and PC. Multiple Mainframes and TC Icons/Editors can be integrated into a network.
Mainframe 6000 houses an extremely sophisticated and flexible processor structure, utilizing the leading DSP architecture. One mainframe hosts up to four audio processors, referred to as "Engines. Each Engine can be loaded with any of the processing algorithms available in the Library banks.
All four processors have equal DSP-power and are supported with a large amount of external RAM. Therefore any Engine can be loaded with a variety of different algorithms from Reverbs and effects to Dynamics and EQ. All four Engines handle up to 8 input and 8 output channels each, depending on the loaded algorithm type. This enables to create a wealth of configurations: e.g. four stereo-reverbs; or two stereo-reverbs and a 5.1 reverb; or have a full 5.1 mastering setup with EQ, dynamics and format-conversion in one mainframe – the number of combinations are endless.
Physical I/Os:
Mainframe 6000 has up to 16 physical input and 16 output channels. All 16 channels are able to run at 96kHz sample rate, thereby not diminishing the number of available I/O-channels when running at high rates.
As a standard Mainframe 6000 comes with 8 AES/EBU I/O-channels. On top of this, optional eight channels can be configured with either additional 8 AES/EBU I/O-channels, or three dual-channel analog I/O-cards, giving a total of six AD/DA converter channels.
The dual-channel AD/DA converter cards (ADA24/96) are state of the art Mastering grade quality, which compares to any high-end stand-alone converters on the market.
• Optional Hardware:
Reverb 6000 and Mastering 6000 always include a Mainframe with 8 channels AES/EBU I/O, and one or more of the Icon controls (TC Icon Remote/CPU, Mac- or PC-editor).
The following hardware options are available:
• ADA2496: Two-channel analog reference quality I/O module. Up to three ADA2496 cards can be fitted into one Mainframe, giving a total of up to six analog I/Os. Two XLR female and two XLR male connectors per card are available.
• AES/EBU-8: Card with additional eight AES/EBU I/O channels. One card can be inserted into a Mainframe. The I/O connector is a 25-pin D-Sub type. A D-Sub to XLR connector snake is provided with the card.
• 1MB PCMCIA card Type 1: Formatted in a Mainframe this 1MB card provides you with 500 Scene, 500 Routing and 1000 Engine User preset locations directly accessible from the Library pages on the Icon control.
• SP1 Joystick: To control the internal surround panner algorithm and various other applications, an external joystick are offered. The joystick connects via MIDI to the Mainframe.
• Ethernet HUB: Standard four port Ethernet HUB used for setting up networks of multiple Mainframes, TC Icon remotes and computers running Mac- or PC-editors.
System 6000 offers two distinctively different entry points: Reverb 6000 and Mastering 6000.
Reverb 6000 and Mastering 6000 can both be expanded with optional algorithms.
