TRIANGLE LED Indicates power is ON. 2.1 REAR PANEL FUSE Externally accessible 0.5AMP fuse. Replace with equivalent type and rating only. POWER SWITCH

16、 ON/OFF rocker switch (located near power supply to prevent the leakage of AC line hum into the audio circuitry). REMOTE Remote control of EFFECT BYPASS and REPEAT HOLD functions. Used with standard ” stereo cord and-dual footswitch (momentary type). EFFECT OUT A 600 ohm unbalanced output. The level

17、 is set with the OUTPUT LEVEL control and carries the mix of dry and delayed signal set by the OUTPUT MIX control. DIRECT OUT A 600 ohm unbalanced output of dry signal only. The level is the same as the input signal level. INPUT An unbalanced high impedance input which interfaces with low or high im

18、pedance sources and low and high signal levels. FIGURE 3-1 INITIAL FRONT PANEL SET-UP 3.0 INITIAL SET-UP ADA DIGITALS interface with a wide variety of input sources including high level microphones, electronic instruments and mixing consoles. The INPUT circuitry is high impedance which functions pro

19、perly with both low or high impedance sources and low (- 10dBV) and high ( + 24dBV) signal levels. (A) To prepare your DIGITAL DELAY for use, set the rear panel POWER SWITCH to the OFF position. Also set your amplifiers power switch to the OFF position. (B) Connect your DIGITAL DELAYS AC CORD to a g

20、rounded outlet. (C) Set the front panel controls as shown above (Figure 3-1). ,64i and 2.56i owners should use the longest delay factor pushbutton, 640rns and 2560ms respectively. (D) Connect your signal source to the INPUT jack located on the rear panel. (E) Connect the EFFECT OUTPUT on your DIGITA

21、L DELAY to your amplifier input or mixing console effects receive input. The DIRECT OUTPUT is used with a second amplifier for stereo effects. Page 4 of 11 ADA 64i-1.28i-2.56i owners manual (F) Select the ON position of the rear panel POWER SWITCH (the TRIANGLE LED should now be lit), then set your

22、amplifiers power switch to the ON position. (G) Engage the EFFECT IN pushbutton. Your DIGITAL DELAY is now ready for operation. 3.1 INPUT/OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT (A) The 4-step HEADROOM LED Meter provides accurate monitoring of the input signal level relative to the clipping level. To properly set the inp

23、ut level: find the strongest signal or musical passage that you will put into your DIGITAL DELAY, and set the INPUT LEVEL control to just barely light the red 0dB HEADROOM LED. The LED should flicker only on the strongest signals or notes Never set the INPUT LEVEL control so the 0dB LED is constantl

24、y on. Note that the HEADROOM LED Meter monitors, all Signals entering the delay line. The REGENERATION LEVEL control may effect the headroom and therefore the readings. While performing, always remember to monitor the HEADROOM LED Meter for possible overloads. (B) The OUTPUT MIX control mixes the pr

25、ocessed signal with the dry input signal. For use with instruments, the control will most often be in its center range. For studio applications where your DIGITAL DELAY is in an effects loop, the MIX control is most useful in the full clockwise, DELAY, position. The processed signal level (and thus

26、the dry/effect mix) is now controlled at the console. (C) The OUTPUT LEVEL control sets the level of the EFFECT OUTPUT whether in bypass or effect IN mode. In general, guitar level signals will have the control in its mid- scale or higher, line level signals will generally require positioning the co

27、ntrol more counter-clockwise. Remember, proper setting of the INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL controls is necessary to achieve maximum performance with the least amount of noise and distortion. 3.2 REMOTE FUNCTIONS EFFECTS BYPASS and REPEAT HOLD are remotely controllable via the rear panel jack labeled REMOTE. T

28、he REMOTE jack accepts a standard ” stereo cord (tip-ring-sleeve). The stereo cord connects with two momentary footswitches. In the EFFECT BYPASS mode, the input signal source is routed to the EFFECT OUTPUT. BYPASS is actuated by a momentary closure which grounds the tip to the sleeve. The REPEAT HO

29、LD function allows non-deteriorating repeat of any source stored in the delay memory. REPEAT HOLD is actuated by a momentary closure which grounds the ring to the sleeve. Note that the front panel switches may also be used while the dual footswitch is connected 3.3 REGENERATION SECTION As the REGENE

30、RATION LEVEL control is turned clockwise, more of the delayed audio signal is sent back to the input of your DIGITAL DELAY. When using short delay settings, from 0.15 to 40ms, the REGENERATION LEVEL control adds emphasis or resonance to flanging and chorusing. At longer time delays, from 80 to 2560m

31、s the REGENERATION LEVEL control adds repeat echos extending to 50 seconds or more. Room ambience or naturally reflected sounds are quite different from the original signal because reflective surfaces of a room absorb high frequencies more quickly than low frequencies. ADA DIGITALS can simulate room

32、 acoustics by rolling-off the higher frequencies with the continuously variable REGENERATION HI-CUT control. At minimum cut (16kHz), the delayed signal is not altered. In the maximum cut position (1.0kHz), all Page 5 of 11 ADA 64i-1.28i-2.56i owners manual regenerated signal content above the mid-ra

33、nge frequencies is attenuated to simulate highly damped room acoustics. The frequency spectrum of the sound source generally decays as it would in a natural environment. 3.4 PHASE The delayed signals phase is inverted when the PHASE pushbutton is engaged. Inverted phase may correct phasing problems

34、in mixing consoles, or alter the tonal characteristics of short delay effects such as resonant flanging and doppler chorusing. 3.5 REPEAT HOLD When engaged, the REPEAT HOLD pushbutton will capture and repeat the signal stored in memory indefinitely without any loss of audio quality. Up to 2560ms (on

35、 the 2.561) of a musical passage may be repeated as a counterpoint or a background rhythm. When your DIGITAL DELAY is initially powered up, an internal protection circuit switches the REPEAT HOLD function out to prevent howling. 3.6 DELAY SECTION The DELAY MULTIPLIER control allows continuous 0.125X

36、 to 1X adjustment of the delay time selected from any one of the interlocking DELAY range pushbuttons. The ranges of each of the DELAY pushbuttons are as follows: FIGURE 3-2 .64 DELAY TIME RANGES Left to right PUSHBUTTON DELAY TIME (in ms) MIN MAX EFFECT #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 .31 to 2.5 1.25 to 10 5 to 40

39、EPTH control allows you to fade between the static setting of the DELAY MULTIPLIER control and the sweeping voltage of the internal low frequency oscillator. When the DEPTH control is set at 0, the delayed signal is not swept and the delay time remains stationary. As the DEPTH control is turned cloc

40、kwise, a wider range of the selected time delay is swept. With the DEPTH control set at 1 0, the full 8: 1 range is swept and the MULTIPLIER control is disabled. At settings less than 10, the MULTIPLIER sets the center of the sweep range. The MODULATION RATE LEDS give a visual indication of the swee

41、p speed, the direction the sweep is moving (up or down), and how close the sweep is to its upper or lower limits. The RATE LEDS increase in brightness as they reach their upper or lower limits, giving a visual indication of the point where your effect is starting to turn around. The MODULATION WAVEF

42、ORM control continuously blends the shape of the modulation function from a triangle to a sine to a square wave. Full counterclockwise position of the knob selects a triangle wave for delay times that reach a peak or dip and quickly turnaround especially useful for flanging effects. Advancing the kn

43、ob towards the 12 oclock position selects pure sine wave modulation for delay times that smoothly increase and decrease at a speed corresponding to the RATE control, useful for chorusing and vibrato effects. Full clockwise position selects a square wave for delay times that jump up, then down, for s

44、tepped pitch-shifting effects. The MODULATION SPEED control adjusts the low frequency oscillator from (Msec to 25sec. Extremely slow sweeps are useful for chorusing, flanging and subtle effects. Faster sweeps can produce vibrato, fast flanging and rotating speaker simulation. 4.0 PATCH DIAGRAMS IMPO

45、RTANT NOTICE: .64i OWNERS SHOULD USE DIAGRAMS OF 2.561 TO SET FRONT PANEL CONTROLS, AS THE FIRST FIVE DELAY PUSHBUTTONS ON THE 2.561 ARE IDENTICAL TO THE THOSE ON THE .64 FIGURE 4-1 / CLASSIC FLANGE This demonstrates the full 8:1 sweep range of your digital delay. Turning the REGENERATION LEVEL cont

46、rol clockwise produces more resonant or more dramatic flanging effects. FIGURE 4-2 / EVEN/ODD HARMONIC At minimum MULTIPLIER control settings, switch between in-phase and out-of-phase settings with the PHASE switch. Inverted signals will cancel lower-frequencies thereby apparently emphasizing treble

FIGURE 4-4 / STEREO DOUBLING The OUTPUT MIX control is set at full delay (10) for double tracking when using the DIRECT OUTPUT and

48、 the EFFECT OUTPUT in a stereo PA or recording system. In mono systems, set the OUTPUT MIX control in its center position (5). A single short repeat of the note or chord is produced for added thickness. FIGURE 4-5 / REPEAT ECHO By carefully adjusting the REGENERATION LEVEL control, you can select fr
