INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the TC 1210. We are sure you have made a
sound investment, with which you will enjoy many sessions.
BEHIND THE TC 1210
The reasonings behind the TC 1210 have been to make the ultimate surround
sounding chorus/flanger for the studio and for on-stage use, a goal we are sure, you
also will realise has been reached.
Built on experiences with our TC STEREO CHORUS FLANGER pedal, with which
we have enjoyed a shear stream of encouragements from practically everyone who
have had the opportunity (including the utmost capable musicians in the world) the
TC 1210 takes you some steps further into creating a wealth of fascinating and well
sounding spatial stereo chorus sound-images.
TC Electronic is a well reputated audio-processing electronics firm started in 1976,
now with more than 100 manpower-years of combined skills within high quality audio
processing developments and manufacturing.

    Plugable board construction and component identifications for fast service. THE SOUND IMAGE OF TC 1210 The TC 1210 actually consists of two complete stereo chorus flangers combined with phase shifts and an advanced common circuitry to link and crossmix the units in carefully controlled modes and combinations.
  • Page 3 STATIC SPATIAL EXPANSIONS, wide broadenings and psychoacoustic enhancements of the stereo image to be created. By unbalancing the delays and phase shifts within the TC 1210 it is possible, with the left and right channels volumes remaining unchanged, to shift the appeared origination of the sound from left to right and vice versa.

  • Page 4: Operational Description

    Normal mode (stereo or mono input - stereo output) Separate mode (2 separate channels each: mono input - stereo output) In normal mode the TC 1210 is a two preset unit where the two presets can be used singly or combined.
  • Page 5 INPUT MODE SWITCHES: STEREO INPUT: Disables the mix of inputs 1&2 to allow stereo or separate input signals. SEPARATE INPUT: Divides TC 1210 into two separate mono in/stereo out chorus/flangers. LINK MODE SWITCHES: CROSS OFF: 1. IN NORMAL MODE: Switches off the cross mixings of the channels.

  • Page 6: How To Get Started

    If using the TC 1210 as one (mono/stereo in & stereo out) unit: OUT1 = left, OUT2 = right If using the TC 1210 as two separate (mono in - stereo out) effects, the jackoutputs are used with the left outputs on the tips and the right outputs on...

  • Page 7: Setting Samples

    Adjust both the INPUT SENS gain controls so that the (yellow) odB PPM led flashes as input signal is provided, the red +3dB led should flash only on high peaks of the input. Set the desired sounds: Start with the setting samples and build your own sounds from them. Effect 1 and 2 are indicated on with their LFO LED’s flashing red/green.

  • Page 8: Technical Description

    TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The TC 1210 contains two complete chorus flangers along with special linking and spatial enhancement circuitry to obtain the effects described. Active transformer balanced XLR inputs and outputs are provided along with singleended jack in and outs. Separate channel PPM (headroom) indicators and “unitygain” levelmatching circuitry to accommodate a wide range of input signals.

    This effect can be heard in the TC 1210 “DELAY PANNING” effect, in which it is possible to alternate the origination of the sound with the volume remaining unchanged.
