1. Introduction

With its clear and natural air, the TC8210 is a high-denition all-purpose reverb in the same vein as the classic clear and pristine TC reverbs known from our studio workhorse, the System 6000, and our acclaimed Hall of Fame stomp boxes.
The TC8210 takes reverb to the next level with even better diusion, denser tails and hyper realistic room impressions!
Designed from the ground-up, and based on the classic TC Electronic reverb philosophy, it gives you the ultimate in transparency and preser ves the natural characteristics of your source sound.
With its cache of crystal clear halls, rooms and immersive spaces, it is a next­generation main reverb, and an essential component in any musician or mixing engineer’s creative kit.

2. Plug-in Installation

Visit www.tcelectronic.com/TC8210-dt/support/ to download the installer le. The plug-in is free and can be installed on an unlimited number of computers, but does require the TC8210 hardware unit to operate the main parameters.
Select the Mac or PC version and save the le to your hard drive. Use the correct 32 or 64 bit version that matches your operating system. The latest rmware for the TC8210 hardware unit will be included in the software as well.

2.1 Installation on a PC

Open the zip le and double click the executable le. If you get a security warning, click ‘Run’.
Accept the license agreement and click ‘Next’.
Select which VST and/or AAX components you want to install. Pro Tools uses AAX and most other DAW programs use VST. The installer will oer a default location to save the le, but you can choose another location by clicking the ‘Browse’ button.

3. Connection and Setup

Getting the TC8210 up and running couldn’t get any easier. Plug the included USB cable into the unit’s rear micro-USB port, and connect the other end to a free USB port on your computer. The TC8210 is bus powered, and so no other power cables are necessary, and no additional drivers need to be manually installed.
The TC8210 is built to work with a USB hub, but not all hubs are supported. If the TC8210 fails to power on or doesn't connect to the plug-in, try connecting it directly to a USB port instead of using a USB hub.
TC8210-DT
Laptop
The rst time the TC8210 is connected to a PC, the device driver software will be automatically installed. Wait a few moments until the installation is complete.
The TC8210 LEDs should light up upon successful connection. You can now apply the plug-in to a track in your DAW to begin using it. This process may vary slightly depending on your DAW software, but generally should require these steps:
• Open your DAW after the TC8210 plug-in has been successfully installed on
your computer.
• Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the
eect.
• Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to eect
slots.
• Open the menu where you can select from a list of eect types, which
probably includes many stock plug-ins that are included with the DAW. There should be a submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
• The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the
TC8210 and it will now be added to the signal chain.
Insert vs Aux Eect
The TC8210 can be inserted directly into an eect slot on a single channel, as described above, which passes the entire signal through the eect.
However, the TC8210 can also be added to an auxiliary bus, and one or more channels can send a portion of their signal to this bus to be processed by the eect. In this case, Mix should be set to 100%.
The output of the eect is then mixed back in with the rest of the tracks. This diers from an insert eect in that the TC8210 isn’t aecting the track’s entire signal.
Mono/Stereo Operation
The TC8210 can be used both as a mono instance on mono tracks and a stereo instance on stereo tracks. Depending on the specic DAW, a mono in/stereo out may also be available.
In the case of a mono out instance, the output signal is made by outputting the left plug-in channel only.
The TC8210 is fully mono-downmix compatible, due to its decorrelated output signals. This way it ensures playback compatibility on mono systems such as DAB radios, mobile devices and audio installations in shops and restaurants.
