Description Condition: Used: An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

Read moreabout the condition Type: Stereo to 5.1 Surround Upmixing Brand: Z-Systems Effect/Enhancement: Mastering Model: K6 - Surround Processor
This
device enables the user to turn a stereo interleaved mix into
surround sound (or 'up-mix'). It also has built in functionality for
POW-r dither so could also be used as an additional/alternative
dither box at the end of your digital signal path.Owned
from new, this unit has been stored both in a 19” rack and on a
desktop in a clean studio environment since originally purchased. It
has slight cosmetic wear and tear associated with rack mounted gear.
There is also a small dent on the front panel on the right hand side
(please see photos).Our
reason for selling is because we have no need for it anymore. We now
own alternative means of upmixing to 5.1 Surround.We
are happy for you to collect in person or courier to anywhere in the
UK (any cost for the latter will be incurred by the buyer). If you
are based outside of the UK please get in touch to discuss possible
delivery options.Any
other questions please feel free to message, we will do our best to
provide any necessary information.Product
DescriptionThe
widespread proliferation of surround sound has brought along with it
the need for repurposing, or "upmixing" legacy stereo
titles for multichannel release. In many cases, the original
multitrack components may not be available for remixing or it simply
might not be feasible for economic reasons. The question then
remains: without access to the original multitrack components, what
is the best way to derive a meaningful surround upmix from the stereo
source? The answer, quite often, is the z-K6 K-Surround Processor.K-Surround*
is a patent-pending process for taking the ambience that's present in
a stereo recording and spreading it across the surround channels. In
this manner, the listener is completely enveloped in the recording's
natural ambience. The z-K6 creates upmixes that sound like they're
occurring in a natural acoustic space, with a sonic character
portraying width, depth, and texture. The process sounds incredibly
natural, void of synthetic r e v e r b e r a t i o n o r o t h e r
colorations: nothing artificial is added. The z-K6 also gives control
over derivation of a center channel from the stereo material, with a
frontal image whose sense of width and depth can also be manipulated.
The unit also has a number of features which are useful for surround
monitoring, including individual channel level controls, a master
level control, channel mutes, and channel solos. The features are
incredibly useful in auditioning the derived upmix.The
z-K6 can handle up to 24 bits at 96 kHz. The unit also features TPDF
dither and POW-r** wordlength reduction to generate 24-, 20-, and 16-
bit outputs.Product
