[. . . ] DSP2024P Users Manual Version 1. 2 September 2004 VIRTUALIZER PRO ENGLISH VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. 4) Follow all instructions. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] The signal is first subdivided into middle and side signal (MS Matrix). Both parts can then be amplified when desired and placed on the stereo image. ULTRA WIDE: This effect is suitable to pep up speaker systems with an especially broad stereo image. Additionally, it compensates for interchannel cross talk of both speakers (left loudspeaker on right ear and vice versa). Tab. 2. 5: Functioning of the psycho-acoustic effects parameters 2. 6 Filter/EQ effects FILTER: Filters, in general, influence the frequency response of a signal. A low pass filter allows low frequencies to pass and suppresses high frequencies, while a high pass filter allows high frequencies to pass and suppresses low frequencies. PARAMETRIC EQ: The parametric equalizer is the most highly-developed form of equalization. You can control the three parameters which define the so-called gauss equalizer curve: bandwidth, frequency and amplitude boosting or lowering. GRAPHIC EQ: Eight filter bands are arranged next to each other for this graphic equalizer. In contrast to the parametric equalizer, frequency and bandwidth are pre-determined here. 2. 6: Functioning of the filter/EQ effects parameters 2. 7 Distortion effects and amp simulations VOCAL DISTORTION: This effect is very hip when used on vocals and drum loops, and is combined with a delay and flanger. TUBE DISTORTION: This effect simulates the sound of different tube types. When an analog tube, as found in a guitar amplifier, is overamplified by raising the input signal (e. g. of a guitar), the original signal is mixed with the harmonic overtones. With rising overmodulation (also known as saturation of tubes), the original signal is distorted and the sound is fresh and full. GUITAR AMP: This effect simulates the sound characteristics of a complete guitar amplifier. You can connect a guitar or bass (after appropriate pre-amplification) directly to the VIRTUALIZER PRO, and from there to a mixing console or recording device. Jimi Hendrix was one of the first guitarists to recognize the appeal of this broadband transistor overmodulation. The humming distortion of the FUZZ BOX has again become popular with alternative rock and grunge. SPEAKER SIMULATION: The VIRTUALIZER PRO is able to simulate various types of speakers. Typical guitar amplifying speakers as well as multimedia speakers are available. RING MODULATOR: This effect allows a radical alienation of audio signals.
