ADA 64i-1.28i-2.56i  owners manual 

LED indicates REPEAT HOLD is engaged. 

DELAY RATE

  

 

An LED indicator that "blinks" at the rate of the delay time  
interval. 

DELAY RANGE

  

 

Interlocking pushbuttons for selection of the delay time range. 

DELAY MULTIPLIER

  

Allows a continuous 0.125X to 1X adjustment of any selected  
delay range. 

MODULATION DEPTH

  

Determines the range of delay time that is swept by the low  
frequency oscillator. 

MODULATION LEDS

  

Pair of LEDs indicates the speed, direction, and position of the  
sweep as it moves up and down. 

MODULATION SPEED

  

Sets the speed of the low frequency oscillator that sweeps the  
delay time. Sweep speed varies from 0.1 sec to 25 seconds. 

MODULATION WAVEFORM

 Continuously blends the shape of the sweep modulation from a  

triangle to sine to square wave. 

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

  

 

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 ¼” stereo cord and-dual  
footswitch (momentary type). 

EFFECT OUT

  

A 600 ohm unbalanced output. The level 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 impedance 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 properly 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 amplifier's power switch to the "OFF" position. 

(B) Connect your DIGITAL DELAY'S AC CORD to a grounded outlet. 
(C) Set the front panel controls as shown above (Figure 3-1). ,64i and 2.56i owner's 

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 DIGITAL DELAY to your amplifier input or 

mixing console effects receive input. The DIRECT OUTPUT is used with a second 
amplifier for stereo effects.
