Quantec initially developed their QRS algorithm in the early 80s, with their Room Simulator processor becoming one of the most admired and acclaimed products of the time. The new Quantec Yardstick is the latest incarnation of this ground breaking product and features some of the most beautifully natural almost zero artefact simulations of acoustic spaces ever achieved.

An essential tool in atmos-matching for editors and Foley operators in post production and sound design or for engineers making or mixing high quality recordings of vocals or acoustic instruments, the Quantec Yardstick can also be used to great effect to synthesise stereo or multi-channel sound fields from mono sources.

• Ultra-realistic room simulation based on renowned QRS algorithm
• Audibly superior to many artificial reverb units
• Natural, highly transparent, uncoloured and artefact-free
• Minimal controls – very simple to operate
• Internal library of “common spaces” greatly speeds up ADR/post process
• Simulation by virtual chamber containing virtual loudspeakers and microphones
• Room size adjustable from 1 to 1,000,000 m3
• RT60 adjustable from 10 ms to 100 s
• Up to 192 kHz/24bit internal processing
• < 1ms latency
• Bar-Graph metering of inputs and outputs
• AES3 I/O versions available for stereo and multichannel applications
• Stereo analogue I/O version available
• Remote control via MIDI, USB, RS-232 or Ethernet using web browser
• 1U rack mount unit, only 26mm deep,
•  Very low power consumption
