         Noise has been reduced to the vanishing point. Speed stability is unconditional. Frequency response has been extended to beyond audibility. Particular emphasis has been placed on reliability and ease of operation.                   

Echo Generator with 3 different Type of Sine Wave allows to simulate different Hall Echo situation and to maintain in all the various combinations an incredible high level of Length of Swell.
In addition, to the Tone Control Output the unit is equipped with an EQ with 3 Type of different Frequency, the EQ control affect only the WET signal.

BIAS Manual Adjustment:
Is to adjust manually the necessary BIAS level applicable to the variable Low and High Disc Speed.
The range of the manual Bias control is 35% of the total amount of the Standard Bias Calibration. Because recording frequencies response are significantly reduced at Low Disc Speed and increased at High Disc Speed, this control is necessary in order to maintain the correct recording frequency response in all the various Speed operation. Through this control it is possible also to obtain a “Clean” or “Dirty” Echo quality .
Input Dry level control +20% Gain.
