Perception of Reverb types may vary from
person to person. It is a rather subjective
issue to discuss, describe or even define.
However, over the years a general
perception of basic Reverb types has
evolved. From these definitions the
experienced sound-engineer chooses and is
given good starting points for various
applications. We choose to briefly describe
the Reverb types found in the M300 like this:
TC Classic Hall
The TC Classic Hall simulates a rather large
Hall and preserves the natural characteristics of
the source material.
This is excellent for many studio applications
requiring medium to long Decay times and
especially on vocal material.
Concert Hall
Compared to the TC Classic Hall the Concert
Hall is a more diffuse Reverb type. This type of
Reverb is often used on drums and other
percussive material. We are still talking a
simulation of a rather big facility.
Vocal Room - Vocal Studio - Vocal Hall
The three types all simulates typical vocal
recording facilities. The Vocal Studio and Vocal
Room types are medium sized locations. They
give the soft type of reflections usually
associated with wooden surfaces.
The Vocal Hall is a larger location than the
above but still with the soft characteristics of
wooden surfaces.
Drum Box - Drum Room
Reverbs especially designed to emulate the
typical recording rooms used for drums.
The Drum Box is a 80’s style ambient room
with only very short reflections.
The Drum Room emulates the reflections in a
medium sized drum room with a high ceiling -
giving longer but natural sounding reflections
compared to the Drum Box.
Large Cathedral
Where the TC Classic Hall, and to some extent
also the Concert Hall, are Reverbs with smooth
diffuse fields, the Large Cathedral has a much
more uneven diffused field. Emphasis on the
reflections deriving from many hard surfaces
and the high amount of Lo Color naturally
occurring in this type of rooms, gives excellent
simulation of the Large Cathedral.

REVERBS
The M300 holds the following Reverb types:
• Concert Hall • Classic Hall
• Living Room • Vocal Studio
• Club • Vocal Room
• Plate I • Vocal Hall
• Plate II • Drum Box
• Spring • Large Cathedral
• “Live” Reverb
• Ambience
Each of these Reverb types are created and
fine tuned by the highly experienced staff at TC
Electronic and utilizes the vast experience we
have accumulated over the past years of
producing high quality Reverbs. Though the
M300 is a very compact effects unit in the
affordable price range there is no compromise
when it comes the Reverb quality.
To get best starting points for your
application set the three controls in
the Reverb section in 12 o’clock
position and “take a trip” round the
different Reverb types.
By leaving the controls in 12 o’clock position
you will hear our suggested settings for each
Reverb type.
Once you have the Reverb type closest to your
goal start twisting the controls.
Pre Delay
A short Delay placed between the direct signal
and the Reverb Diffuse field. By using Pre
Delay the source material is kept clear and
undisturbed by the more diffuse Reverb Diffuse
Field arriving shortly after.
Decay
The Decay parameter determines the length of
the Reverb Diffuse Field. The length is defined
as the time it takes for the Diffuse Field to
decay approximately 60dB.
Color
Varies the “color” of the Reverb. From dark to
crisp and bright the Color parameter can really
change the characteristics and style of the
Reverb. Try it!
