DTS Neural Surround DownMix is designed to convert 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound content into high-quality stereo mixes. This plugin addresses the challenge of delivering multichannel audio through two-channel playback systems or transmission streams, ensuring that the spatial characteristics of the original surround mix are preserved in a natural and balanced stereo format. It offers a reliable solution for adapting surround sound projects to stereo environments without losing the essence of the original audio placement.

Developed under license from DTS, the plugin incorporates DTS’s patented Active Correction Technology, which resolves common issues encountered in stereo downmixing such as comb filtering. This technology ensures that the stereo output maintains clarity and spatial accuracy, closely reflecting the surround experience. Users can select from three different downmix types and utilize various correction settings to optimize the stereo image according to their needs, making it suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

Ideal for archiving, terrestrial radio broadcasting, and internet streaming, DTS Neural Surround DownMix provides extensive control features including LFE cutoff frequency adjustment, output limiting, and full metering. It offers the option to encode with a hard center image or emphasize a phantom center, allowing for customized stereo positioning. Additional tools such as an output channel solo button enhance workflow efficiency, making this plugin a powerful tool for creating authentic stereo mixes from multichannel sources.
