Introduction
and
Inspection
Introduction
We congratulate and thank
you
for
your
purchase
of
the
dbx
290 Stereo
Reverb.
The
290 is a true stereo,
dedicated
reverb
processor
designed
for the professional
who
needs
high quality results
without
the
chal-
lenges
of
complex
programming.
Whether
used
in
the
recording studio
or in live
sound
situations,
world
class reverbs
are
just a
button
press
away.
The
290 also includes
unheard
of signal to
noise
specifications for
products in its price range along with a digital noise gate that pushes
unwanted
noise
even
further
out
of
the
audio
picture. Some of the 290's
features include:
• True stereo reverb processing
..
• Signal to noise ratio of greater than 90dB
(w/o
noise gate)
• 40kHz sampling rate, 18 bit DACs, full
bandwidth
response
• Balanced Stereo Inputs
and
Outputs
•
Hundreds
of professional quality reverb possibilities
• Receives MIDI program
changes
Although
the
dbx
290 was designed to
be
the easiest reverb
on
the mar-
ket to use,
we
suggest that
you
read
this
operation
manual
to fully
understand
the
290's power. We
have
kept
the
manual
simple
and
easy
to read so that
you
can get
back
to
work
quickly.
We
hope
you
enjoy
your

Setup
Connections Correctly connecting audio
and
power
to
any
signal
processor
is the
most
important
step
towards successful
audio
processing. Please follow
these
steps
carefully for best results:
1.
Turn
off
all
equipment
before
making
any
connections
2.
Mount
the
290
in
a rack.
(optional)
The
290 requires only
one
standard rack space.
It
can
be
mounted
above
or
below
anything that doesn't generate excessive heat, since it
requires
no
special ventilation. Ambient temperatures should
not
exceed
113·F (45·C)
when
equipment
is powered.
3.
Make
audio
connections
via
1/4"
phone
jacks
according
to
your
requirements.
Although
the
290 is a true
stereo
reverb processor, it can also be
used
in a
mono
in!stereo
out
or
mono
in
/mono
out
configuration.
The
290 configures itself by sensing
whether
or not plugs
are
inserted into
the
Right
Input
and
Right
Output
jacks.
For
mono
input
applications,
use
the
Left
Input
jack only. For
stereo
input
applications, use
both
Left
and
Right
Input
jacks.
Likewise, for
mono
output
applications,
use
the
Left
Output
jack only.
For
stereo
output
applications,
use
both
Left
and
Right
Output
jacks.
Typically,
the
29O
's inputs
are
connected
to
the
auxiliary
sends
(some-
times called effect
sends)
of a mixing console.
The
290's outputs
are
then
connected
to
the
effect returns
on
the
console
. For best results,
a
stereo
effect return
should
be
used
. See figure 1-1.
Figure
1-1
The
290
can
also
be
used
in a keyboard
setup
as in figure 1-2
or
in a
guitar rig as in figure 1-3.

Connect
the
AC
power
supply
(shipped
with
the
unit)
to
the
rear
panel
jack
labeled
POWER
and
then
plug
the
AC
power
supply
to
an
appropriate
AC
power
source.
The 290, like any piece of
computer
hardware, is sensitive to voltage
drops, spikes,
and
surges. Interference
such
as lightning or
power
"brownouts"
can
seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently dam-
age the circuitry inside the unit.
• Spike/Surge Suppressors - This is an inexpensive solution to
all but the severest of AC line dangers. Surge protected
power
strips usually cost only slightly
more
than
unprotected
strips,
making them a worthy investment for protection of all
your
valuable gear.
• AC Line Conditioners - This is the best
way
to
go
for total pro-
tection from improper line voltages, albeit
the
more
expensive
way. Line conditioners constantly monitor for excessively high
or low voltages
and
adjust accordingly, thus delivering consis-
tent
power
levels.
To help
keep
things quiet, be sure to
keep
audio
lines as far
away
from
power
lines as possible. If it is necessary to cross
audio
and
AC
lines, cross them perpendicular to
one
another
. As a rule,
never
allow parallel audio and AC lines to lie close to
each
other
.

Power
may
now
be
re-applied
to
your
other
equipment.

Operation
Selecting Reverbs The 290 has
been
designed
to
make
reverb selection as quick
and
easy
as possible. Reverbs
are
divided into four parts:
• Type -Six
standard
reverbs are available in the 290: Room, Hall,
Chamber, Plate, Cathedral,
and
Gated. These are described further
in the Reverb Types Section
(page
12).
•
Size/Shape
-
There
are three possibilities available: Small, Medium,
and
Large. This
parameter
changes
the overall size or volume
(width x length x height)
of
the
room.
It
also affects
the
reverb
decay setting since smaller enviroments
produce
shorter decay
times. Larger
spaces
typically
produce
longer decays.
If
the
Gated Reverb is selected,
these
buttons
choose
one
of three
different Linear reverb Types:
1) ..
....
",,"11111111
-Reverse lin
ear
reverb. Gives
the
illusion that the signal
is being played in reverse since
the
reverb
energy
builds
up
instead of decays.
1)
111111111111111111111
-Gated linear reverb. Emulates
the
sound
of a high
energy reverb being cut
off
by a
gate
before it has a
chance
to
decay completely.
1)
111111111111'10,...
. - Normal linear reverb. Contains lots
of
energy
but
decays quickly, making it ideal for small live
room
emulation.
•
Reverb
Color
-
There
are
three
ambience
colors to
choo
se from:
Dark, Medium
and
Bright. This control
does
more
than just
make
simple equalization changes to
the
reverb; it also changes
room
damping
and
high frequency reverb decay roll-offs. Each reverb
Type
uses its
own
set of colorations, while
the
Medium setting is
usually considered
the
least
colored
.
• Reverb
Decay
-Sets
the
decay time
of
the
reverb
and
is
dependent
on
the the
reverb Size selection. Let
your
ears be
the
judge as to
how
much
reverb decay
you
need
for
your
application.
Simply press
the
buttons associated with
the
desired reverb Type,
Color/Shape
and
Size.
The
reverb decay Time
can
be adjusted using
the
Decay control at
any
time.
The
290 also
remembers
the
last
used
set-
tings
even
after
the
unit is
powered
down
.

• • •
Operation
To place the 290's reverb into Bypass
mode
, press
and
hold the [ROOM]
and
[CHAMBER]
reverb Type buttons simultaneously. Bypass
mode
is
indicated by the flashing LEDs of the currently selected
Type
/Size/Color
buttons. Pressing any button will exit the Bypass
mode
(along with
changing the setting if a
new
Type/Size
/Color
is selected). An external
footswitch can also be
used
to
enter
or exit
the
Bypass mode.
NOTE: Bypass
mode
affects only the
wet
portion of
the
Wet/Dry signal
(this means that Bypass acts as a reverb
mute
).
-----*-----
The
dbx
290 includes a digital noise gate to
push
the
noise floor
down
,
ensuring that the 290 is at its quietest
when
sitting idle (the most impor-
tant time to be quiet). The noise gate is located just before the 290's
reverb, which the means reverb's decay
never
gets prematurely cut off.
Threshold is the
one
parameter that may
need
adjustment in
your
partic-
ular application. This is
the
level at
which
the
gate
will
open.

Reverb
Types
What
is
Reverb?
Reverberation, or
room
ambience, occurs
when
acoustic
energy
is reflect-
ed off room surfaces, materials and objects. Using reverberation in
recorded program material gives
the
listener a sense that the material is
being performed in an actual room or hall. It is this similarity to actual
acoustic spaces that makes reverberation a useful tool in recorded music.
The 290 also uses early reflections to get a better emulation of the natur-
al
sound
of a room. Early reflections are short clusters of direct reflec-
tions from the closest walls in the room.
The 290 includes several different types of reverb. Some are very natural
sounding
environments, while others are not-so-natural sounding.

-----*-----
The Room is the most basic environment because
we
actually hear
rooms. Usually rooms are smaller environments
and
because their walls
are closer together, early reflections are heard more prominently while
the overall length of the reverb decay is quite short.
Natural small room
amb
iences will
work
wonder
s in trying to bring ster-
ile, dry musical instrument samples back to life (like
drum
samples for
example). Small rooms also
help
thicken up
sounds
without adding a
lot of long decay reverberations.

Halls almost fall into the special category of
unnatural
ambiences
because they are designed
and
treated with certain
sound
reflection char-
acteristics. Performance halls are built with the goal
of
getting the
sound
off
the
performance stage as cleanly
and
loudly as possible. Early reflec-
tions are practically non-existent while the reverb decay of the environ-
ment is extremely smooth
and
transparent.
Halls are ideal for
the
instruments they
were
designed for like strings ,
pianos, orchestras,
etc
.
The
transparent quality of the decay makes halls
one
of
the
most commonly
used
ambiences in recording.

Many recording studios have tried to emulate hall environments by build-
ing special
sound
chambers. These small rooms have
unique
wall angles
and
surfaces. Sound is fed into the room through a
speaker
and
the
reflections are retrieved with
one
or more microphones. Early reflections
in these rooms are quite strong
and
even
but
because the room is small,
the reverberation decays
more
quickly
than
in a real hall.
Although
not
a perfect emulation of the hall, the
chamber
has
become
a
preferred
ambience
for multi-tracked recordings that
need
reverb. Since

Reverb Types
the
chamber
's decay
tend
s to get out of the way
more
quickly than
the
hall's, the
chamber
is ideal for vocals
and
/or
instrumental parts that
tend
to get stacked during recording. Chambers are also very useful for more
percussive,
upbeat
styles of music.
-----*----
Plates are another attempt to artificially emulate natural ambiences that
have instead
become
accepted for their
own
unique
sound
. Plate
reverbs are
made
with large sheet of metal
suspended
in a
box
. Sound
is induced at
one
end
of
the metal
sheet
with transducers that cause the
metal to vibrate. Pickups at the other
end
of
the
metal receive
the
multi-
ple reverberations.
The results are quite
unique
. The Plate reverb has a slight metallic quali-
ty that makes instruments
and
voices
sound
a little brighter
and
thus
more present. Reverb plates have a very thin,
smooth
high
end
while
the low
end
is more dense. These characteristics
work
well for percus-
sion instruments. ---_.*-----
The most natural
and
familiar environment is probably that of
the
cathe-
dral or church. Often large churches are built for
the
purpose
of hous-
ing visual ornamentation
and
seating large
groups
of
people
for worship.
By the
sheer
size of
these
rooms
and
the
amount
of
people
in
them
(or
sometimes
how
empty
they
were), cathedrals
and
churches
all
over
the
world have
become
famous for their
unique
sound
qualities.
These large rooms usually have a great deal of early reflection energy
(because of smaller pulpit areas) while the reverb itself is very rich in
the
lower frequencies
(because
of the large room's ability to sustain
low
fre-
quency energy).
The
cathedral reverbs
make
anything
sound
big,
whether
it's an organ with a choir or a
thunder
clap
.
--_._*-----
Linear reverberation, or gated reverbs as
they
are
more
commonly
ref-
ered to, are the most
unnatural
ambiences
used
on
a regular basis.
Originally, large
dense
reverbs
were
cut off using a noise
gate
.
Eventually, it was discovered that using very linear reverbs with
no
regeneration
produce
the
same
type of
sound
with
even
more
flexibility .
Since the decay is linear, the shape of
the
reverb
can
be
changed.
Using
the flat setting gives
you
the
familiar gated reverb
sound
.
The
reverse
setting ramps the
energy
from its lowest point
up
, making things
sound
almost backwards.
The
normal ramp
down
setting can
be
used
as stand-
alone
early reflections to emulate very small, intense
rooms
.
