Content | The name "SPX" has been synonymous with "professional multi-effect processor"
for more than 15 years, and the models like SPX90, SPX90II, SPX900, SPX1000
and SPX990 have been the most commonly found equipment in the studio and
SR racks.
Superb Sonic Quality with 24bit/96khz Standard Throughout
The heart of the SPX2000\'s hardware is its 96kHz audio DSP, with 32-bit internal
processing (58-bit accumulator) which offers abundant processing power for its
advanced effect algorithms.
Refined Preset Programs Including the Newly Developed "REV-X" Reverb Algorithm
There are 3 banks to the SPX2000\'s memory: "PRESET“, "CLASSIC" and "USER“.
The "PRESET" bank contains 97 programs. 17 programs are made with the newly
developed "REV-X" reverb algorithms. "REV-X" is a whole new generation of Yamaha
Reverb programs with the richest reverberation tone and smoothest decay. There are
"REV-X Hall“, "REV-X ROOM" and "REV-X PLATE" algorithms.
Reliable and Efficient Front Panel User Interface with Colors
The SPX2000\'s hardware cosmetics are designed to offer optimum reliability for the
engineers on site. The rugged aluminum front panel features 2 sets of "Cross-keys" -
simple navigation tool anyone is familiar with. Parameters are sorted in 3 groups;
"PARAMETER“, "FINE PARAM" and "UTILITY" to ensure speedy access. Also other
dedicated buttons like UNDO, COMPARE, BANK, MODE, METER, TAP, and BYPASS
ensure efficient operations.
The SPX2000\'s LCD offers 5 back light color variations(!). You can freely assign any of
the 5 colors to user programs. The preset programs are colored by effect groups giving
you an instant recognition of the effect type even from the distance. (CYAN: Reverbs,
WHITE: Delays, MAGENTA: Pitch & Modulations, YELLOW: Others, GREEN: CLASSIC
Bank) RED is reserved for warning messages.
SPX2000 "OPERATION LOCK" function offers 3 security levels; from preventing accidental
changing of Utility settings, or protecting stored memories to prohibiting almost all operations.
Professional Audio I/O and Control Connectors
Its rear panel houses, for analog connection, XLR type (w/latch) and quarter inch L + R Input
and Output connectors both with +4dBU/-10dBu selector switch. Professional digital connection

About the DI6s It's a fact of audio life that a lot of equipment that has to be connected to professional audio systems isn't impedance or level compatible. Interfaces Unlimited Tape/cassette/DVD/CD decks, audio for video, drum machines, synthesizers, bass guitars, computers; at some stage all these need linking up to Balanced inputs, whether the application is Live sound, Studio or Broadcast. To solve these problems, we've developed the DI-6s:
Six active D.I. (Direct Injection) boxes, plus a 6 into 1 Line Mixer, plus a 1 to 6 Splitter, All of this in a compact, all steel 1 RU package.
A Pro Audio Toolbox This unique and flexible audio toolbox allows Six independent unbalanced audio sources to easily and quietly interface with Balanced pro audio systems, either to individual channels or summed down to one Master output. But that's not all. By pressing a single switch on the rear panel the DI6s will change from being Direct Boxes and a Mixer to being a 6 way Splitter (line distribution amplifier). Now it will split an incoming signal to 6 individual outputs or zones. On the front panel, each channel has 2 IN/OUT jacks, a level control from infinity (off) through 0dB to +15dB gain, and a Clip indicator LED.The Master section has a Master volume control and status LEDs indicating whether the unit is in DI or Splitter mode. In addition, as on all ARX single rack unit equipment, each channel has a numbered marker panel ('scribble strip') you can write on for easy confirmation of channel assigns. Balanced Outputs On the rear, each channel has an XLR Balanced output, with associated Ground lift switch and status LED, to isolate the chassis and electronic grounds. The Master section has both Balanced XLR and Unbalanced Jack outputs. In addition there is a Balanced XLR input with a switch to put the unit in either DI or Splitter mode. Universal AC Power AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch. With so many handy functions, plus a true 'user friendly' layout, it's no wonder people call the DI-6s 'A total Audio Patching System in 1 RU!' You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX

1215 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer
The dbx 12 Series were designed to meet the needs of the most
demanding sound reinforcement environments, while offering the
simplicity of straightforward controls. The 1215 provides standard
features like dual channels, 15 2/3 octave bands, ISO frequency
centers, +/-12 dB input gain range, and switchable 40Hz/18 dB per
octave low-cut filters, but also includes other thoughtful features.
These include 45 mm faders; selectable +/-6dB or +/-15dB boost/cut
range for precise gain adjustments; XLR, barrier strip, and 1/4'' TRS
connectors for installation ease; balanced inputs and outputs for quiet
operation; and chassis/signal ground lift capabilities for quick hum isolation.
The visionary design of the dbx 12 Series makes your job easier.
The dbx 12 Series Equalizers were precision engineered to provide years
of maintenance-free operation in any application. The magnetically isolated
transformer, electronically balanced/unbalanced inputs and servo balanced/
unbalanced outputs, RF-filtered inputs and outputs, and power-off hard-wire
relay bypass with 2 second power up delay were steps our engineers took
to ensure compatibility for all installations. Only the best components were
utilized, yielding a 10Hz to 50kHz frequency response, greater than 90dB SNR
(ref +4dBu), less than 0.005% THD +Noise (1kHz at +4dBu), and interchannel
crosstalk of less than -80dB from 20Hz to 20kHz. All this attention to detail
is contained in a 2U steel/aluminum chassis.
