The Haas Effect
The HAAS Effect or the ‘Principle of First arrival’ is a dominating cue by which the brain can pinpoint the origin of a sound within the boundaries that surround the listener.

Sound travels through air at approximately 1080 ft./sec. (340m/sec.) and arrives at each ear at slightly different times. This difference and the successive reflections assist the brain in determining the originating location of the sound.

By manipulating these arrival times the TC 1210 widens and adds "Space" to the stereo image. It is possible to give the impression that a sound comes from the right channel even if the volume of the left channel is higher, providing that the left channel signal arrives a little later.

The delay times needed to alter our perception of the position of the sound sources are so short that they are percieved more like filters than delays. The TC 1210’s individually adjustable L& R delay times and cross-coupled audio path combine delay and phase shift to play with the human ear’s ability to distinguish the origination of sound.

The images created are unique and effective without being blatantly obvious or offensive. Chorusing and Flanging utilize bucket brigade technology meaning the TC 1210 produces the Classic sound of ‘vintage’ units.
