1 UnWrap Intimate UnWrap
This particular preset can be used as a starting point for upconverting material where
intimacy needs preservation, but slightly less dry than preset 0.
Frontal image width: Solo LCR channels on the Output page when setting Level, Center
channel and L/R processing parameters. Compare against Bypass if you wish to achieve the
same overall image width as the two channel input.
Basic description of the UnWrap algorithm at preset 0.
L/R Processing LFE Cut Freq. SL Delay SR Delay Decorrelate Fader
Controls frontal image
width.
Hi cut filter frequency
applied to derive an LFE
signal from the input.
Surround delay. Use
larger delays if the
reproduction room is
expected to be large.

The surround channels
can be generated in
various ways. The Close
algorithm adds a little
spaciousness.
Output fader for all 5.1
channels.
2 UnWrap Lateral UnWrap
This preset can be used as a starting point for upconverting material where lateralization
from the surround speakers complements the source.
Frontal image width: Solo LCR channels on the Output page when setting Level, Center
channel and L/R processing parameters. Compare against Bypass if you wish to achieve the
same overall image width as the two channel input.
Basic description of the UnWrap algorithm at preset 0.
L/R Processing LFE Cut Freq. SL Delay SR Delay Focus Fader
Controls frontal image
width.

The surround channels
interact with the frontal
image depending on the
Focus parameter.
Output fader for all 5.1
channels.
3 UnWrap Soft Sur UnWrap
This preset can be used as a starting point for upconverting material where an unobtrusive
surround room addition complements the source.
Frontal image width: Solo LCR channels on the Output page when setting Level, Center
channel and L/R processing parameters. Compare against Bypass if you wish to achieve the
same overall image width as the two channel input.
Tip: If you place a Monitor Matrix (preset 11-0-0) downstream of UnWrap, it’s easy to judge
how the processing works, should an end-listener or broadcaster be downconverting the
result using standard downmix principles.
