VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P
1. INTRODUCTION
In purchasing the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO you have acquired an extremely efficient multi-effects
processor that offers first class reverberation effects and a number of other algorithms. The DSP2024P has 71
new effects types, and thanks to its logically structured user interface, it can be used easily and intuitively.
In order to generate an extremely natural reverberation, we at BEHRINGER have developed new kinds of
algorithms for virtual acoustics.These algorithms will help you calculate all room and reverberation parameters
with absolutely professional quality and naturalness.
In spite of this extensive and calculation-intensive work performed by the 24-bit processor in the DSP2024P,
the VIRTUALIZER PRO is very easy to handle. Changing parameters to achieve a specific sound is simple.
There are 100 presets available to store your own programs.
The DSP2024P includes excellent reverb and delay programs, but that’s not all. Besides the classic plate
reverb simulations, the VIRTUALIZER PRO will impress you with its excellent modulation effects (like chorus,
flanger and phaser), which were extended to include special variations like a musical pitch shifter, a tremolo,
and a rotary speaker simulation. The DSP2024P’s dynamic and psycho-acoustic effects allow you to do
without a number of additional pieces of equipment. The DSP2024P also offers you a series of distortion and
amplification sounds that are combined with a speaker simulation. Thus, as a guitarist in recording
situations, you can achieve an excellent sound on tape or hard disk, even without a speaker cabinet.
All of the DSP2024P’s preset effects include up to seven editable parameters. Editable high and low pass
filters are also available, bringing the grand total to nine (!) editable parameters for each effect! They can be
selected directly and stored in 100 user presets. Thus, you can match the sound characteristics of your
presets to every desired room characteristic and in turn save time during a hectic live operation. Besides its
logical and simple operation, the VIRTUALIZER PRO’s technical equipment is also impressive. The following
points ensure signal processing at a professional level:
V Extremely low-noise and exact 24-bit A/D and D/A converters.
V A professional sample rate of 46 kHz guarantees a high signal resolution for a frequency response of 20 Hz
to 20 kHz.
V The 24-bit processor features dual engine software; these two sections process audio input independently.
V As for all BEHRINGER products, the highest quality components and controls are used.
Due to its wide-ranging MIDI implementation, the DSP2024P can be used in virtually any MIDI setup. In
addition, you can use MIDI to program the VIRTUALIZER PRO using editor software on your PC. The DSP2024P
can also send controller and sys-ex data, allowing you to transfer all presets and settings with a sys-ex dump
to your sequencer. If necessary, you can reload those settings by sending the sys-ex data from your
sequencer back to the DSP2024P.
The following instructions will give you a brief run-down on the terminology and functions of
the VIRTUALIZER PRO. After reading, please store this manual in a safe place for future
reference.
1.1 The concept
BEHRINGER uses an uncompromising selection of components. The heart of the BEHRINGER
VIRTUALIZER PRO is a 24-bit DSP, which, due to its exceptional technical specifications, is regarded as one
of the finest building blocks. With it come the first class 24-bit A/D-D/A converters, guaranteeing a precise
conversion of audio signals. Narrow-range tolerance resistances and capacitors, high-grade switches, and
other selected components are all very high in quality.
The VIRTUALIZER PRO was manufactured on the basis of SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). The
use of sub-miniature building blocks known from space flights allows not only an extreme packing density but
also ensures an increased dependability. The DSP2024P was manufactured under ISO9000 certified
management system.
