Yamaha SPX2000 Digital Effects Processor

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.

Features:

  • Superb sonic quality with 24-bit/96-kHz processing throughout.
  • 96-kHz DSP LSI with 32-bit internal processing (58-bit accumulator).
  • 24-bit, 128-times oversampling AD and DA converters achieve 106 dB dynamic range and flat response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz at the 96-kHz sampling rate.
  • REV-X reverb programs deliver the richest reverberation tone and smoothest decay available.
  • In addition to a large range of ambience programs, including many that use the acclaimed REV-X reverb algorithms, the SPX2000 includes 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
  • Professional analog and digital audio I/O and control connectors.
  • SPX2000 Editor software provides a common operating environment and interface for the SPX2000 and Yamaha digital mixing consoles.

SUPERB SONIC QUALITY WITH 24-BIT/96-KHZ PROCESSING THROUGHOUT
The heart of the SPX2000 hardware is a 96-kHz DSP LSI with 32-bit internal processing (58-bit accumulator) that delivers plenty of processing power for the unit's advanced effect algorithms. 24-bit, 128-times oversampling AD and DA converters achieve 106 dB dynamic range and flat response from 20 Hz to 40 kHz at the 96-kHz sampling rate.

REFINED PRESET PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE ADVANCED "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.
