Fostex 3180 - Remote Control and Road Use

in
the
studio
when
a
sudden
inspiration
hits,
and
you
want
to
connect
a
synthesizer,
for
example,
quickly
--
and
without
disturb-
ing
your
normal
hook-up.
Since
the
front
panel
jacks
are
wired
in
parallel
and
have
priority
over
the
rear
panel,
it
is
extremely
easy
to
make
such
a
connection.
(5)
Stereo
Effect
Because
of
the
unique
drive
circuit
in
the
3180,
you
can
achieve
a
sterea
effect
from
a
mono
signal,
and
open
a
new
acoustic
dimension
right
before
your
very
ears.
See
Figure
5
for
connection.

Typical
hook-up
of
3180
for
stereo
effect.
For
example,
a
lead
vocal
ordinarily
occupies
one
track
on
the
multitrack
master
and
is
mixed
to
center
position
during
the
mix-
down.
Usual
procedure
would
be
to
pan
the
reverberated
return
either
left
or
right
of
conter
for
an
effect
of
added
depth.
The
3180,
however,
can
process
a
single
channel
into
two
output
signals
with
a
random
phase
correlation
for
a
superior
stereo
effect.
Using
the
same
example,
the
dry
lead
vocal
would
appear
in
the
center
position,
but
the
reverberated
stereo
return
could
be
panned
across
the
entire
stereo
panorama,
left
to
right,
for
a
much
more
realis-
tic
presentation.
To
our
knowledge,
this
is
the
first
time
such
an
effect
has
been
available
in
a
low
cost
unit.
(6) Remote Foot Pedal
This
optional
accessory
is
useful
for
both
on-stage
as
well
as
in
studio
situations.
A
live
guitar
solo,
for
example,
may
only
