YAMAHA SPX2000

The new generation SPX with 96kHz audio and brand new "REV-X" reverb algorithm.

New-generation SPX with 24-bit 96-kHz Processing and Advanced REV-X Reverb Algorithms

For more than 15 years the letters "SPX" have been synonymous with professional multi-effect processors, and over that time you would almost always find an SPX90, SPX90II, SPX900, SPX1000 or SPX990 in any well-equipped studio or live-sound rack. The SPX2000, while inheriting the standard interface and popular programs from its predecessors, brings a new dimension to the SPX sound with advanced REV-X reverb algorithms and 24-bit, 96k-Hz audio processing. It also offers an innovative user interface with features such as five assignable LCD backlight colors, operation lock modes, and computer-based editing. The SPX2000 is a new-generation multi-effect processor that delivers performance that is a perfect match for Yamaha's DM series Digital Production Consoles, and is suitable for applications from live sound to production studios.

Superb Sonic Quality with 24bit/96khz Standard Throughout

The heart of SPX2000 hardware is the 96kHz audio DSP, with 32-bit internal processing (58-bit accumulator) which offers abundant processing power for the advanced effect algorithms. The 24-bit 128-times over-sampling AD/DA converters deliver 106dB dynamic range and flat response from 20Hz to 40kHz at 96kHz sampling rate. Both are in line with the DM series Digital Production Console quality.

Refined Preset Programs Including the Newly Developed "REV-X" Reverb Algorithm

The SPX2000 memory is organized into three banks: "PRESET," "CLASSIC" and "USER." The PRESET bank contains 97 programs, 17 of which feature Yamaha's acclaimed REV-X reverb algorithms. REV-X reverb programs deliver the richest reverberation tone and smoothest decay available. There are separate REV-X Hall, REV-X ROOM, and REV-X PLATE algorithms, and corresponding new parameters such as ROOM SIZE and DECAY ENVELOPE that contribute to higher definition and finer reverb nuance. The other 80 presets are popular SPX programs such as gate reverbs, delays, pitch effects, modulation and other special effects. Other advanced algorithms ... such as Multi-band Dynamic Processors ... are inherited from the DM series Digital Production Consoles. All programs have been created through detailed listening and editing by leading engineers. The "CLASSIC" bank contains 25 programs reminiscent of the original presets from early SPX models such as the SPX90II. The "USER" bank can store 99 user programs.

Professional Audio I/O and Control Connectors

SPX2000 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 is secured with AES/EBU XLR type I/O connectors and BNC WORDCLOCK IN connector. Also MIDI IN, OUT/TROUGH and USB TO HOST connectors are provided for remote control and data management using computers, Digital Consoles or any MIDI device. Foot Switch connector for effect tempo control is placed on the front panel.

SPX2000 Editor for Mac OSX and Windows

The supplied SPX2000 Editor application makes it easy to edit and manage data from a personal computer, as well as remotely control the SPX2000 directly from the computer. The SPX2000 Editor provides a common operating environment and interface for the SPX2000 and Yamaha digital mixing consoles.
