Waves DTS Neural™ Surround Collection

DTS Neural™ Surround DownMix

The problem: 5.1 or 7.1 content that needs to be transmitted to, or played back over, 2-channel streams or equipment. The solution: DTS Neural Surround DownMix, which authentically replicates the placement of multichannel content in a spectrally balanced, standard stereo environment.

Developed under license from DTS®, the plugin features DTS’s patented Active Correction Technology to fix common stereo processing issues such as comb filtering.

Body:

• Ideal for archiving, terrestrial radio broadcasting, internet streaming
• Natural-sounding stereo mixes are true to the initial surround content
• 3 types of DownMix, with various correction options and latency
• LFE cutoff frequency control covers 0 to 160 Hz
• Encode with a hard center image, or prioritize phantom center
• Output limiter, full metering, and output channel solo button

DTS Neural™ Mono2Stereo

Mono audio isn’t just from legacy sources like old recordings. For today’s live broadcasting and streaming, you’ll need to transform crowd sounds, announcements, coaches yelling from the sidelines, and interviews into stereo—especially for subsequent upmixing to 5.1 or 7.1 surround.

Developed under license from DTS®, Mono2Stereo convincingly synthesizes stereo from mono source material, while giving tight control for positioning mono elements in a stereo mix.

Body:

• Maps mono signals into a precise stereo field
• Active Correction Technology fixes issues like comb filtering
• Width control ranges from centered mono to wide stereo
• Optimize imaging with selectable mono/stereo crossover frequency
• Spatially position, and separate, individual mono sources
• Convert stereo to surround with the DTS NeuralTM Surround UpMix

DTS Neural™ Surround UpMix

When the original source elements for standard upmixing aren’t available in a multichannel format, DTS Neural Surround UpMix provides comprehensive, creative controls for conversion to stereo. Adjust for soundfield width and depth, channel layout, output levels, and LFE filtering.

Developed under license from DTS®, DTS Neural Surround UpMix is ideal for stereo television master control rooms, surround streaming, and replacing legacy hardware upmixing components.

Body:

• Converts stereo to quad, 5.1, and 7.1 surround, as well as 5.1 to 7.1
• Places dialog in the center of multichannel mixes
• Bass management section controls LFE and main channel filtering
• Choice of low or high (1272 or 2296 samples) latency modes
• Output section peak limiter affects the output level of all channels
• Intuitive depth, width, and image distribution parameters
