6. SPEAKER SIMULATOR Function
The SPEAKER Simulator function is included in all presets and provides a realistic approximation
of a miked speaker cabinet for applications involving connecting the UTOPIA G300 directly to a mixing
board, recording system or other full range system.
NOTE: The parameters provided in this function are operational
only when the SPKR SIM parameter under the GLOBAL
FUNCTION is stored UNLOCK, LOCK L or LOCK B.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these SPEAKER Simulator parameters:
The SPEAKER Simulator parameter allows you to select whether the Speaker
Simulator is on for BOTH outputs, on for only the LEFT output or OFF.
The SPEAKER TYPE parameter determines the type of speaker to be simulated.
15", 12", 10", 8" and full range speakers are available.
The MIC POSITION parameter simulates a microphone placed anywhere from
the center of the speaker cone out to the edge of the cone. Positive parameter
values simulate moving the microphone toward the center of the speaker while
negative values move it to the edge.
The REACTANCE parameter simulates the characteristics of the interaction
between a tube amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet. The higher the parameter
value selected, the more these characteristics will be apparent. Negative values
of reactance can be used to simulate an open-back cabinet.
