Installation Ensure that the room in which you use this product is wired in accordance with the local electrical code and checked by a qualified inspector. Do not install the product in hot, humid, or excessively dusty locations, in direct sunlight or in locations where it is exposed to externally generated vibrations.
DSR-3 a power cord this manual Positioning and connecting The DSR-3 requires two 19" rack units. Make sure the unit receives adequate air supply to avoid overheating. ☛ Spring tanks are are prone to electromagnetic interference. When placed disadvantageous, e.g. near equipment with a transformer or speakers, interference might occur.
☛ The in- and outputs on the DSR-3's rear panel are assigned to the channels SPRING REVERB A and SPRING REVERB B. Therefore, an input signal being connected to SPRING REVERB A will not be output from SPRING REVERB B.
Front Panel Figure 1: DSR-3 front panel INPUT This high impedance input is used to feed audio signals into the DSR-3. The front input overrules the rear panel TS- and XLR-inputs . It is rou- ted in parallel to reverberation channels SPRING REVERB A and SPRING REVERB B.
The POWER switch turns the DSR-3 on and off. MAINS IN The MAINS IN jack connects the DSR-3 to power. The DSR-3 uses a switching power supply and can be used with alternating currents ranging between 90 to 240 volts (50/60 Hz).
Spring Reverb Channels A and B The DSR-3 offers two spring reverberation channels: SPRING REVERB A and SPRING REVERB B. Both channels are equipped with identical controls and functions. Figure 3: DSR-3 reverb channel GAIN Sets the input level. The corresponding CLIP LED lids up as soon as the input signal overdrives the preamp.

In its upper position EFF STOP, the effect-stop- function is activated, meaning the output of the reverberation spring will be muted. The direct signal will still pass through the DSR-3's in- and output stages. ☛ With EFF STOP enabled, the reverberation spring is muted. Therefore, no effect is generated.

. Here, the DSR-3 functions as a two channel DI-box. XLR- and jack outputs work in parallel and therefore carry the same output signal. This way, you may as well use the DSR-3 to distribute audio signals. User Guide DSR-3 - dual spring reverb...
DSR-3 Operating Modes The two DSR-3's channels may be used separately or in combination, e.g. to process stereophonic sound sources. There are three operating modes: STEREO, DUAL MONO and SERIAL. Use the MODE switch to select the operating mode. DUAL MONO...
OUTPUT Figure 6: signal flow in stere mode In this mode, the DSR-3 works a stereo spring reverberation system. With the exception of the BYPASS/EFF STOP switch , channel SPRING REVERB A is used to control SPRING REVERB B's settings as well.
SERIAL SPRING REVERB A SPRING REVERB B SPRING SPRING INPUT GAIN OUTPUT GAIN OUTPUT Figure 7: signal flow in serial mode This operation mode is suited to create extreme reverberation effects. SPRING REVERB A works as if being in DUAL MONO mode. However, the effect output of this channel is used as the input signal for SPRING REVERB B.
