BOSSCO RRV-10 User manual

INSTRUCTIONS

The RRV-10, equipped with the BOSS original DSP
(Digital Signal Processor), is compact, yet a high
quality reverb unit with good sound quality and various
functions.
FEATURES
• The RRV-10 includes nine different types of
ambient environments.
• The reverberation (decay) time or the gate time is
continuously variable, therefore fine adjustment is
possible.
• The Pre-equalizer section can widely control the
tone of the reverb sound.
• Equipped with the Stereo Outputs, the RRV-10 can
produce extremely fat reverb sounds
• The RRV-10’s noise reduction circuits achieve
residual noise of lower than - lOOdBm (IHF-A).
• The unique Input Cancelling System allows to turn
the unit off without killing reverb sounds.

This turns the unit on or off.
* For about ten seconds after the unit is turned on. it
does not work.
O INPUT JACKS
Connect a musical instrument or audio equipment to
this jack.
* These are two input jacks; standard phone and pin,
but they cannot be used at the same time. If both
are connected, the standard phone jack will have
priority.
® LEVEL SWITCH - See "OPERATION"
® OUTPUT JACKS
Through these jacks, the effect (or normal) sound is
sent out.
* Both the standard phone and the pin jacks can be
simultaneously used.
For monaural connection, use the Output Jacks A
only.
<D EFFECT REMOTE JACK
By connecting the Foot Switch FS-1 or FS-5L (both
optional), to this jack, you can turn the effect on or off
by pressing the pedal.
Before using this function, be sure to turn on the
Effect Switch on the front panel
e AC ADAPTOR JACKS
The "IN" jack is to connect an AC adaptor (BOSS
PSA-120,220 or 240) or the Power Supply (BOSS
RPW-7). Connect the plug of the AC adaptor or the
Power Supply to "IN". To supply power to other BOSS
Micro Studio Series, connect the supplied DC cord
to "OUT".
When using the PSA adaptor, please be sure that
the total current draw does not exceed 200mA and
when using the RPW-7, 700mA. (The current draw
of each unit is shown on its rear panel.)

0 Set the Level Switch ® to the appropriate position
depending on the type of the unit used.
* ''-20dBm'' position gives less noise, but if the
sound is distorted or the Overload Indicator O lights
up frequently, change it to ''-lOdBm".
* The position of the Level Switch does not affect the
volume of the sound.
0 Select the desired reverberation (ambient environ¬
ment) with the Mode Switch Q.
* If you rotate this knob while actually listening to the
sound, noise may be heard, but there is nothing to
worry about it.

U NOTES
• For about 10 seconds after the unit is turned on. it
does not function because of the muting circuit.
• When you are using only one AC adaptor for supply¬
ing power to more than one unit, please be sure that
the total current draw does not exceed 200mA.
• When the unit is not to be used, disconnect the AC
adaptor from the socket.
• Avoid using the unit in excessive heat or humidity or
where it may be affected by dust.
• Please never remove the cabinet from the unit.
• When you use the unit on its own without using the
optional Rack Mount Adaptor RAO-10, please attach
the rubber feet as shown below.

■ AC Adaptor, Power Supply
BOSS PSA-120, 220 or 240 (optional)

Using any other adaptor or power supply will cause
trouble.
■ RACK MOUNTING
The RRV-10 is one of the BOSS Micro Studio Series,
and any two of the series can be mounted in a standard
19" rack (EIA-IU) by using the optional Rack Mount
Adaptor RAD-10.
Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the units,
fix the units on the Rack Mount Adaptor with the
supplied screws, then place the whole set on the rack.
