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.

+

This  user’s  manual  will  help  you  familiarize

yourself  with  the  control  elements,  letting  you

learn  all  the  functions.  Please  read  the  manual

carefully  and  keep  it  for  future  reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The V-VERB PRO REV2496 was carefully packed at the factory

and  the  packaging  is  designed  to  protect  the  unit  from  rough

handling.  Nevertheless,  we  recommend  that  you  carefully

examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical

damage that may have occurred during transit.

+

If  the  unit  is  damaged,  please  do  NOT  return  it  to

BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping

company  immediately.  Otherwise,  claims  for

damage  or  replacement  may  not  be  granted.

+

To  assure  optimal  protection  of  your  REV2496

during  use  or  transport,  we  recommend  using  a

case  or  a  19-inch  rack.

+

Always  use  the  original  packaging  to  avoid  damage

during  storage  or  transport.

+

Never  let  unsupervised  children  tamper  with  the

equipment  or  its  packaging.

+

Please  dispose  of  the  packaging  material  in  an

environmentally  friendly  way.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling.

To avoid overheating, do not place the REV2496 on top of power

amps or near radiators, etc.

+

Blown  fuses  must  be  replaced  by  fuses  of  the

same  type  and  rating.  Please  refer  to  the

“SPECIFICATIONS”  for  further  details.

The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord

and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all international safety

certification  requirements.

+

Please  make  sure  that  all  equipment  is  properly

grounded  at  all  times.  For  your  own  safety,  never

remove  or  disable  the  ground  conductor  of  the  unit

or  of  the  AC  power  cord.

1.1.3 Warranty

Please  take  the  time  to  fill  out  and  return  the  warranty  card

within  14  days  after  the  date  of  purchase  to  benefit  from  our

extended warranty. The serial number is located on the top side

of  your  REV2496.  You  can  also  register  online  at

www.behringer.com.

1.2 About this manual

This manual has been designed so that you can get a clear

overview of all control elements and at the same time find detailed

information on how to use them. To let you quickly get an overview

of  different  topics,  we  have  grouped  various  control  elements

according  to  their  function.  If  you  need  more  information  on

specific topics, please visit our web site at www.behringer.com.

For example, there you can find complete information about MIDI

implementation.
