TC Electronic M3000 Digital Reverb Details

Combining ultimate control of directivity in the early reflections with a transparent and harmonically magnificent, diffused field, the art of reverberation is brought to a new and higher level.

The TC Electronic M3000 enables you to add the softest and cleanest ambience to your work that you have ever heard. Furthermore, the processor boasts a wide range of tools and presets to give you the exact vintage or postproduction reverb you are looking for.

With Dual-engine structure enabling two simultaneous reverbs or effects, award winning intuitive user-interface, 600 factory presets and multiple I/O formats, the TC Electronic M3000 is one of the best reverb choices for high-end music- and film/post-production.

The TC Electronic M3000 is a dual-engine reverb-unit, where both software algorithms and hardware performance are optimised to the highest level. This leaves you with a box that is a no compromise solution solving all your reverb requirements – and in the easiest way thinkable.

In addition to all the reverb algorithms TC Electronic M3000 contains various processing effects and tools that can be used stand alone or in conjunction with the reverb programs. e.g. combine a de-esser or a chorus with a reverb and get a completely new sound.

The following effects and processing tools are available: Delay, Pitch, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Panner, Phaser, De-Esser, Expander/Gate and Compressor

TC Electronic M3000 holds one of the most versatile sets of application specific factory presets on the reverb-market. 250 Single Engine plus 50 Combined dedicated Music production presets, and 250 Single Engine plus 50 Combined Film & Post-production presets, gives you a total of 600 factory presets to choose from.

All of the presets are made by industry professionals, and they are ready to use out of the box. Using the TC Electronic M3000 presets is easy: Select a preset, adjust Decay, Pre-delay and perhaps the Hi-colour and you have the desired reverb sound.

I love this machine. the reverbs are magnificent and full of finesse. a perfect complement to Lexicon. I have a PCM96, a PCM70, an SPX90 and an eventide DSP7000 and the M3000 is often my first choice on acoustic instruments and voices. For the price on occasion today, this is absolutely the reverb to have. If I had to keep only one, it would be this one. Sometimes it can have some small wheel problems…
