VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P

To change a parameter’s value, rotate the JOG WHEEL. To increase the value, turn the wheel clock- wise. To decrease the value, turn the wheel counterclockwise. If none of the edit functions is selected, you can select a program directly with the JOG WHEEL. When you do so, a spot lights up in the LED DISPLAY. As long as the spot is illuminated, a program can be selected without making the corresponding settings immediately audible. This brief signal suppression means that during quick selection of presets with the JOG WHEEL, not every preset is activated directly. If the JOG WHEEL is not turned for a second, the spot in the LED DISPLAY disappears and the program is loaded.

To turn the VIRTUALIZER PRO on and off, use the POWER switch.

FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTION. Before connecting the DSP2024P, confirm that the voltage display matches your local mains voltage. When replacing the fuse, you must always use the same type. In many units the fuse holder can be installed in one of two positions, allowing you to switch between 230 V and 115 V. If you wish to operate a unit outside Europe at 115 V, then a stronger fuse must be used. (For more information, see chapter 8 “SPECIFICATIONS”). The mains connection is made via the IEC receptacle. An appropriate mains cable is included.

The DSP2024P has wide-ranging MIDI implementation. MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU connectors are available for transmitting MIDI commands.

SERIAL NUMBER. Please complete and return the warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. Otherwise, you will lose your right to the extended warranty. Alternatively, you can register online at our website under www.behringer.com.

The DSP2024P’s balanced OUTPUTs are designed as 1/4" TRS and XLR sockets.

To switch between -10 dBV (home recording level) and +4 dBu (professional studio level), use the OPERATING LEVEL SWITCH. When you switch between the two, the level displays are automatically changed to the nominal level and the VIRTUALIZER PRO operates in its optimal working range.

Both of the VIRTUALIZER PRO’s INPUTs are also available as balanced 1/4" TRS and XLR sockets.

2. EFFECTS ALGORITHMS

All effects of digital effects equipment are based on various algorithms. An algorithm for a reverb effect, for example, is programmed differently than a chorus algorithm. Each effect has a certain algorithm with which the digital input signal is processed. The processing takes place within the digital signal processor (DSP). After the effect is generated and the input signal is mixed, the digital signal is converted back into an analog signal with a D/A converter.

You can edit up to seven parameters for each preset in the VIRTUALIZER PRO. The changes you make will influence the sound in different ways. An overview of the DSP2024P’s various effects algorithms follows.
