Sony DPS-R7 - Page 5

Overview of the DPS-R7
The DPS-F7 is a digital reverberator equipped entirely with
Sony’s digital and audio technology at its highest level of
sophistication which was released before with the Digital
Reverberator, DRE-2000 and MU-R201 and achieved much
appraisal.
Quality-conscious design - A/D and D/A high
performance converter
The DPS-R7 converts the incoming analog signal to a digital
signal, passes it through various effects, then
re-converts it to an analog singnal before output. The
determinant to the sound quality is the conversion
mechanism that adopts the 18-bit oversampling stereo A/D
converter and the pulse D/A converter of 40.96 MHz. These
account for highly accurate, less deteriorated effects.
User-friendly and comfortable operation
The large size backlit LCD of 40 characters by 2 lines makes
it possible to proceed with smooth operation while viewing
the operating condition in real time. Moreover, the LCD
display incorporates an on-line manual (in English) which
displays information required for operation.
Abundant preset memory settings
The unit has a hundred variations of the effects created by
musicians, sound mixers and acoustic engineers around the
world in its preset memory. This will help you select and
replay immediately the desired effects for a particular
purpose.
Sound creation of any kind
The EDIT function allows you to modify the presets or to
create some individual effects. Besides the preset memory
for a hundred effects, the unit has a so-called user memory
where you can save up to 256 effects you are going to
create. Using this memory allows more varicolored play of
effects,
Wide range of effects
The DPS-R7 consists mainly of a reverberation block
together with an input block, a pre-effect block, a post-effect
block and an output block for signal processing.
For Processing signals with stereo-input/stereo-output in the
reverberation block, one of 5 types of ST-ST algorithms is
available, while the monaural-input/stereo-output processing
allows you to take any two types of MONO-ST algorithm.
One of the six types of algorithms can be used in the pre-
effect block and one of seven in the post-effect block.
By combining these blocks and algorithms used in the
blocks, a wide range of effects will be able to be created
according to the input source.
Remote control
The remote commander (not supplied) makes it possible to
remotely control the unit.
2 types of I/O connectors are provided
The DPS-R7 has XLR connectors (balanced-type) and
phone jacks so that it can be connected to instruments,
recording equipment or PA (public address) equipment.
Linkage with MIDI equipment
The MIDI device incorporated in the DPS-R7 can receive
program change signals from another MIDI equipment
connected so that the DPS-R7 can be controlled by the MIDI
equipment connected. Thus, it can function as an effector
when connected to digital instruments. In addition, controls
from PC’s or MIDI sequencers are very helpful for
composition.
