agm digital distribution studio project purchasing

This product has been developed by AGM since 1998 as a neat solution for reformatting stereo over three channels in live sound. Soon afterwards however, the TSS became popular with film post-production studios for making LCR versions of stereo music for example. Many other applications for this technology have underlined the increasing popularity of these units.

The process itself is patented and that of the late Michael Gerzon and is licensed patented technology from Trifield. It offers a better listening area than standard stereo and many other advantages.

There are two versions of the TSS:

1. TSS1-D D standing for Delay, a centre channel delay board is present and configured via a Windows programme and a connection to the RS232 connector on the rear of the unit. SOLD OUT please email for notification of new availability

2. TSS1-S S being for Simple and without delay, mostly for studio applications centre channel delay can be added in a mixing situation. The processing can be bypassed by shorting two of the pins on the RS232 which is otherwise diabled in these units. STOCK less than 10 units remaining, please call for ex-demo deals.

TSS1-D Versions are currently SOLD OUT please email for notification of new availability

Gerzon/Trifield processing is a patented conversion process for enabling the reproduction of stereo over speaker arrays of more than two channels. The process itself analyses the original 2 channel material and applies psychoacoustic remodeling to achieve 3 channel reproduction. As implemented in AGM’s popular TSS processor that is currently in use worldwide for reformatting stereo to LCR, this process has proven the best possible for this type of work.

ESsEX processing is specifically designed to give a wider and more stable stereo image especially for off-center-axis listeners. Whereas a standard stereo image will “wander” in the direction of the off axis listeners, ESsEX processed material maintains a much better balanced image across a much wider listening area. Furthermore, the resulting 3 channel output maintains the mono-compatibility of the original material on fold-down far better than most other methods.

AGM ESsEX s a WindowsTM application that can process either stereo or mono source files in 24 bit depth and up to 96kHz resolution. The processing works at several times faster than real-time on a Pentium III upwards compatible computer (W2000,XP,NT4) and produces automatically named output files and a short processing report.

Upgrades to other platforms will not be offered/developed!
