TC Electronic Mastering 6000 MKII
Reverb and Signal Processor
TC Electronic > Digital Effects Processors > Surround Effects Processors
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.
Mastering 6000 MKII is packed with a choice selection of precision tools for the mastering engineer. For instance, you get the amazing MD4 algorithm – a 5-band dynamics processor with phase linear reconstruction that can operate in dual mono, stereo and MS modes and has DXP low-level detail enhancement capability.
You also get additional processing including the amazing BrickWall Limiter 2, which prevents distortion and listening fatigue, MD5.1 multichannel expander, compressor and limiter, Toolbox 5.1 format conversion and Monitor Matrix.
Obviously, you can add all of the legendary algorithms from Reverb 6000 MKII and other optional licenses to Mastering 6000 MKII if required. Further, the ease of control will be apparent as soon as you begin to use the TC Icon Remote or their software equivalents for Mac or PC, and, as you would expect, it is fully compliant with networking, sharing and time code automation or built in workstation automation.

MASTERING 6000 MKII Included Licenses
Here, you can learn more about the licenses included with Mastering 6000 MKII. Each license holds a number of great sounding algorithms designed for mastering applications. Apart from the included licenses, you can also purchase additional licenses holding e.g. world-class reverbs, an EQ designed by George Massenburg, or an ultra precise and versatile loudness meter.
Multichannel Mastering License
This license includes MD5.1 and Toolbox 5.1 plus MD4, MD3, BrickWall 2 and the presets from all of these licenses. You can use the included multi-channel presets as templates for 5.1 limiting, optimization, DVD mastering and film to DVD transfers. Further, you also get presets that are great starting points for Time Alignment, Bass Management and Down-mix functions meeting international standards.
• Matrix88
This algorithm virtually turns your System 6000 into the finest digital 8 channel mixer money can buy. Due to the 48-bit structure, Matrix88 upgrades 24-bit signals for internal processing to preserve maximum resolution during mixing. This algorithm has a 48-bit output limiter that only kicks in when appropriate. You can define the limiter threshold as needed, but no matter how you configure it, you can be absolutely sure that it limits with extreme transparency. One way to utilize the Matrix88 is to use it as the ultimate digital summing mixer. Obviously, it requires that you don’t have more than 8 input sources, but it is capable of summing different digital audio sources perfectly. Sample accurate delay trimming up to 300 ms at any sample rate may be performed inputs. Send/return loops may be defined to apply internal or external effects.Matrix 88 is bit pattern transparent, and retains absolute bit transparency even across positive and negative gain adjustments. To help keep your audio as unaltered as possible, we have incorporated ‘bit transparency’ indicators next to the faders. Matrix 88 includes sophisticated fade in / fade out functions for perfect live control of on, cut and channel A/B/C switching.
• MDX 5.1
With the MDX5.1 you get a high-resolution dynamics processor for multichannel signals. It presents a sophisticated new angle to dynamic range control, and it is an alternative to traditional compression and limiting techniques. The MDX5.1 algorithm will automatically become available to all System 6000 users with the MD5.1 license when upgrading to software 3.60. MDX5.1 lets you bring up low-level details, rather than boosting everything, which makes it necessary for you to limit the transient peaks afterwards. The transfer function offered is ideal for level translation purposes, for instance for broadcast station ingest, or for converting between theatrical and domestic listening conditions. You can even apply low-level lift to specific channels individually in one, two or three frequency bands.
• MD 5.1
The MD5.1 algorithm gives you 3-bands of dynamic processing for 5 main channels plus wideband dynamics for the LFE. In essence, it offers Compressor, Expander and Limiter for multichannel signals in one precision algorithm. Primary use is limiting, level optimization and spectral balancing. Extensive linking and priority parameters enable you to control the processing to suit any type of signal for film and music with extreme precision. Further, you can cascade several MD5.1 algorithms to process e.g. 6.1, 7.1 or 10.2 signals, and if needed, you can use a 7th steering input to influence processing of one or more of the main channels.
• EQ 5.1
With this EQ, you get six mono channels of four band fully parametric EQ using 48 bit processing. This is a general-purpose algorithm that you can use in conjunction with other algorithms or as stand-alone. You can link the channels or used them separately. The algorithm is very analog sounding, and high precision filter models are used. Finally, you can select Softclip independently on each output.
• ToolBox 5.1
The Toolbox5.1 is designed to support your surround productions. The algorithm offers you different Level, Test and Bass management as well as Down Mix options. Toolbox5.1 is offered as an integrated part of the MD5.1 and VP8 License packages.
Stereo Mastering License
The Stereo Mastering License consists of three algorithms: MD3, MD4 and BrickWall Limiter 2, including Limiter, Optimizer and Stereo Enhancer presets, emulation of the Cat43 for real-time noise removal, and presets to reduce distortion at the end listener.

• MD4
MD4 is an extremely advanced, high resolution, multi-band dynamics algorithm, featuring no less than five individual bands with phase linear reconstruction. You can operate MD4 in several different ways, including the innovative DXP mode that allows you to lift up low-level detail individually in each band. Therefore, MD4 is perfectly suited for traditional mastering, but you can also use it for converting film to domestic dynamic range, or to process single sources such as vocal, dialogue or acoustic instruments. All processing is done at pristine 48-bit resolution and can be configured to operate in stereo as well as dual mono, or it can be applied surgically to the M and S part of a stereo signal. For example, equalization and compression can target the center or L/R components of a mix to bring out certain elements, or adjust the width.
• MD3
High resolution, multiband dynamics processing has been a trademark of ours for more than a decade. Splitting audio into frequency bands before expanding or compressing, is a big help when fighting breathing and spectral intermodulation artifacts. Ultimately, our algorithms are designed with the headroom to do so without introducing split and recombination filter anomalies, and they can be used for level optimization, mix assistance or discreet spectral balancing as required. The MD3 algorithm is a refinement of our legendary MD2 dynamics algorithm from the award-winning M5000 effects processor. It uses a multi-band, 48-bit resolution structure and provides you with a 3-band compressor, expander, 4-band parametric equalizer and limiter in a single very powerful algorithm. The multi-band section gives you the advantage of adjustable look-ahead delay for gentle processing of transients, while the limiter lets you use its own overshoot proof micro-delay to prevent output samples above the defined threshold. You can configure MD3 for either stereo or dual mono processing, and you can use it on single sources as well as composite stereo mixes. Alternatively, you can process stereo material in the MS-domain, or MD3 can take in MS signals and convert them to stereo, with processing taking place in either the LR or MS domain.
• BrickWall Limiter 2
Among audiophiles, it is generally believed that many recent CD releases sound worse than they did 15 years ago. We decided to investigate the problem, and our engineers discovered that the reason is inadequate level restriction in production and mastering, which triggers distortion in broadcasting processors, data-reduction algorithms and consumer CD players. With the BrickWall Limiter 2, you get a stunning 2nd generation processor that we designed to show if a given signal is ‘contaminated’ with 0dBFS+ peaks and to remove them when necessary. Built on the foundation of the original BrickWall Limiter, it offers even better protection of the downstream signal-path without sacrificing overall loudness. The BrickWall Limiter 2 algorithm is bit transparent below the threshold of limiting, which means that you can in fact use it on an already dithered master. In other words, let the BrickWall Limiter 2 have the final word, and you will definitely get cleaner and more predictable results on CDs and DVDs – as well as data-reduced deliveries such as MP3, AAC, Dolby Digital or DTS.
• De-esser
With this high performance stereo de-esser algorithm, you can choose between relative or absolute threshold modes, enabling the de-esser to work either as a dynamic and musical tool that removes sibilant sounds, or as a fixed de-essing tool for e.g. percussive material. You can select target frequencies in an extremely flexible way using either parametric or low/high shelving filters. The full frequency range covers 100 Hz to 20kHz, and internal 48bit processing allows you to use this de-esser as e.g. a de-popper. You can use the de-esser in both stereo, dual-mono or M/S processing modes.
