  • Page 3: Important Information

    Important Information Read the following before using the SREV1 Warnings • Do not subject the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust, which could be a potential fire or electrical shock hazard. • Do not allow water to enter the unit or allow it to get wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.
  • Page 4 • If the RC-SREV1 displays the message “LOW BATTERY” when you turn on the unit, ask your Yamaha dealer to replace the internal battery as soon as possible. The unit will still work, but data other than backed up data will be lost. We recommend that you save this data to a PC Card before replacing the battery.

    Unlike conventional digital reverberators, which synthesize reverberation using con- trived signal-processing algorithms, the new SREV1 Sampling Reverberator from Yamaha employs digital convolution processing to impose an acoustic “fingerprint” of a previously measured environment onto any audio signal, faithfully recreating the original reverberation, with accurate reflection detail identical to that produced had the...

    Chapter 1—Welcome SREV1 Basics Reverb Modes The SREV1 offers three Reverb modes: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. In 2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo reverb processor. Use this mode if all you require is stereo outputs, as it offers the maximum convolution time per channel. In 4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel processing for surround reverb.
  • Page 17 SREV1 Basics Programs There are two types of reverb program: 2-channel and 4-channel. Two-channel pro- grams are for use with 2-channel mode and 2-channel x2 mode, while 4-channel pro- grams are for use only with 4-channel mode. In 2-channel mode, 4-channel programs do not appear in the program lists and vice versa.

  • Page 33: Hookup Examples

    Hookup Examples This section contains several hookup examples for both digital and analog I/O. Two-channel AES/EBU I/O This example shows how a digital mixer with AES/EBU format I/O can be connected to the SREV1’s onboard AES/EBU I/O for two-channel operation. The input feed can be used to carry one or two digital-audio signals, allowing either 1 in/2 out or 2 in/2 out operation.
  • Page 34 Chapter 3—Getting Started Optional I/O Card Digital I/O This example shows how a digital mixer with an AES/EBU connector can be connected to the SREV1 by using optional AES/EBU cards (MY8-AE). Up to four digital-audio input and output signals can be carried, allowing virtually any input/output configura- tion (e.g., 1 in/2 out, 2 in/4 out, 2 in/2 out x2, and so on).
  • Page 35 Four-channel Analog I/O This example shows how an analog mixer, or digital mixer with analog I/O, can be con- nected to the SREV1 by using optional A/D and D/A I/O cards (MY4-AD and MY4-DA) for four-channel operation. Between one and four channels can be used, allowing 1 in/4 out, 2 in/4 out, 4 in/4 out (4-channel mode), or 1 in/2 out x2 or 2 in/2 out x2 (2-channel x2 mode).

  • Page 36: Connecting The Power Cord

    Chapter 3—Getting Started Connecting the Power Cord Warning: Turn off all equipment before making any power connections. Connect the socket-end of the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on the rear panel of the SREV1. Connect the plug-end to a suitable AC wall outlet, one that conforms to the power supply requirements stated on the SREV1 rear panel.

  • Page 37: Using An Optional Rc-Srev1 Ac Adapter

    The remote cable, which carries power from the SREV1 to the RC-SREV1, is 20 meters in length. Since the power loss in longer cables would be too great, an optional Yamaha PA-6 AC power supply adapter (12 V DC) is required to power the RC-SREV1 when using remote cables over 20 meters in length.

  • Page 38: Using Cd-Roms

    Chapter 3—Getting Started Using CD-ROMs The SREV1 can load programs, projects, and impulse-response data files stored on ISO9660 Level 2 format CD-ROMs, which are also supported by Windows. Inserting & Ejecting CD-ROMs CD-ROMs can only be inserted and ejected while the SREV1 is turned on. Press the CD-ROM eject button, and when the disc tray appears, pull it out.

    Selecting the Wordclock Source Note: When the wordclock source is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may occur from the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged. Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the DIO page shown below.
