The Z Systems CL6 is the first multi-channel dynamics processor which was designed from the ground up for the particular needs of surround mastering engineers. The z-CL6 is implemented entirely in floating-point and currently supports up to 96 kHz at 24 bits, with an upgrade to 192 kHz soon on the way. Each channel features a compressor/limiter with variable threshold, attack time, release time, and make-up gain. Z Systems have also included a wide array of options for linking the level detection and the gain reduction across channels. This gives you total flexibility in controlling the surround image. The z-CL6 also provides several options for wordlength reduction to 16 or 20 bits, including the critically acclaimed POW-r algorithm. Furthermore, the unit can operate at different sampling rates and wordwidths in different channel groups to allow for the complex needs of DVD-A mastering. The z-CL6 is also endowed with MIDI program change capability and can use MIDI SysEx in order to store and recall banks of presets. The z-CL6 is far more than three stereo EQs lumped into a single package. It was developed in conjunction with some of the world’s top surround-sound mastering engineers, incorporating many of these engineers’ suggestions regarding the functions and ergonomics they need in order to do serious multi-channel mastering. You, too will find that the z-CL6 not only sounds wonderful, but that it also works the way you need it to.
