V-VERB PRO REV2496
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in
BEHRINGER products by purchasing the V-VERB PRO, an
extremely capable reference-class reverb modeling effects
processor. The REV2496 was specially developed to produce
first-class reverb effects with breathtakingly natural sound. We
are particularly proud of the revolutionary REVERB MODELING
that not only makes authentic replication of different spaces
possible, it also let us recreate some of the most well-known
high-end reverbs.
Thanks to its dual-engine architecture, the REV2496 can
process two effects at one time at 96 kHz. In doing so, you can
freely select both the effect type and signal routing.
In addition to eight first-class reverbs, there are also six
additional effects, such as X-over delay, chorus/flanger and a
stereo compressor.
Despite a plethora of adjustment possibilities of up to 30
parameters per effect algorithm, there is no need to delve deeply
into its menu structure. Thanks to its innovative front panel, the
REV2496 is easy and intuitive to use. Its four soft, infinitely
variable controls with additional tap function, the high-resolution
128 x 64 LCD and the large rotary preset controls lend your
creativity a helping hand.
The powerful SHARC ® processor with internal 32-bit signal
processing, coupled with the 24-bit/96 kHz AD/DA converters,
assure that carefully programmed effects are calculated in high
resolution and exit the REV2496 in the highest audio quality.
Integration into your existing studio equipment is a breeze thanks
to digital audio connections in the AES/EBU and S/PDIF formats.
In addition, the Wordclock input and MIDI connections assure
flexible connectivity options in all kinds of situations.
Thanks to its extensive MIDI implementation possibilities, the
REV2496 can be used in practically all MIDI setups. Of course,
controller and SysEx data from your REV2496 can be sent and
stored if you use the MIDI interface. This way, by means of just
one SysEx dump, various presets and settings can be stored on
your sequencer or uploaded back to the REV2496.
Future-oriented BEHRINGER technology
To ensure the highest possible operational reliability, all our
equipment is manufactured adhering to the highest quality
standards in the industry. Furthermore, all our equipment is
manufactured according to the ISO9000 certified management
system.
Balanced inputs and outputs
The BEHRINGER REV2496 features balanced inputs and
servo-balanced outputs. The servo function operates
automatically and can detect when unbalanced connecting cables
are connected. This prevents the occurrence of signal-level
discrepancies between input and output signals.
