Save as Default

faction, you can save this conﬁguration using the Save-as-Default button.

Henceforth WizooVerb W5 will automatically load these defaults as the

standard conﬁguration.

Output

In the Output section, you can determine how WizooVerb W5 handles an

LFE signal; take advantage of bass management processing, or mix down

to stereo. All parameters are adjusted in the display.

Like preferences, these entries can be stored as standard settings using the Save-as-

Default button.

❖ W5’s down--mix compatibility lets you generate an LFE signal using the

reverb’s L, C, R, Ls and Rs channels. These signals are mixed and low-

pass ﬁltered using the selected LFE HiCut Freq cutoff. Note that this

tool is far from commonplace. Low-end frequencies are frequently lost

to cancellations when mixing down. Not, however, with the W5. The ﬁl-

tered signal is routed from the output to the LFE channel at an adjust-

able LFE Level. The dry LFE signal is blended with the generated LFE

signal using the Dry/Wet knob.

Owing to the HDIRs and the AIR algorithm’s remarkably true bass response, the results

are very impressive, particularly when the source material is a musical arrangement.

Bass Management

Activate Bass Management to prevent over-the-top bass response when us-

ing LFE signals. When you do this, high-pass ﬁlters are inserted into the L,

C, R, Ls and Rs channels to cut bass frequencies at the selected LFE HiCut

Freq frequency.
