Chapter 1 Overview
The Sony DRE-S777 Sampling Digital Reverb employs a newly-
developed DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which allows Real Impulse
Response processing. It performs high speed, real-time processing, and
provides natural reverberations based on actual acoustic spaces such as
concert halls.
The DRE-S777 features the following:
The supplied CD ROM holds reverb data of existing acoustic spaces
(reverb sources) such as concert halls and churches, as well as a digitally-
simulated plate reverb which was previously impossible. Variable reverb
data, with different reverb times, are provided for each sound source.
Thanks to the digital signal processing and use of high-quality A/D and D/
A converters, the DRE-S777 achieves an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of
100 dB or better.
The reverb time can be changed over a range of 0.3 to 6 seconds in 0.25
second steps. (The adjustable range differs according to the sound source.)
A reverb program loaded from the CD ROM can be stored in a cache
memory. Up to 9 reverb programs can be stored in 9 cache memories and
switched instantly.
The delay time can be adjusted from 0 to 0.5 seconds.
The DRE-S777 is equipped with a four-band equalizer. The center
frequency, gain and filter width (Q) for each band can be changed. The
equalizer can be set to the original sound (Dry) only, the reverb sound
(Wet) only or both (Input).
