Chapter1
Overview
This chapter introduces you to the features, names and function of the parts
and controls of the DRE-S777 Sampling Digital Reverb. It provides you
with overall information about the Sampling Digital Reverb.

Chapter 1 Overview
6Chapter 1 Overview
Features
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:
Several reverb data, including a plate reverb incorporated as standard
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.
Excellent signal-to-noise ratio
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.
Variable reverb time
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.)
Instant switching of reverb programs using 9 cache memories
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.
Pre-delay function
The delay time can be adjusted from 0 to 0.5 seconds.
Pre-equalizer function
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).

Chapter 1 Overview
Chapter 1 Overview 7
Memory StickTM 1) storing up to 99 reverb setups
The memory stick is capable of storing up to 99 reverb setups, 92 adjusted
on the MIXER and SETUP displays plus 7 factory presets. A memory
label can be set for each setup.
This function is useful when you want to recall the status previously
adjusted.
Sampling reverb software providing rich reverberation samples
Reverb programs based on famous halls, churches and natural
environments worldwide are also available in the optional DASK-S70x
series sampling reverb software CD ROMs.
For the DASK-S70x series sampling reverb software, consult your authorized
Sony dealer.
A variety of signal processing options using the optional expansion DSP
As standard, the DRE-S777 allows the “Mono in Stereo out” mode. By
installing the optional DABK-S703 expansion DSP, the following signal
processing options are possible.
•Stereo in Stereo out
•Mono in 4-channel out
•Mono in Stereo out (2Fs)
•Split in 4-channel out (two sets of monaural inputs to be output as two
sets of 2-channel outputs)
Optional A/D and D/A converters allowing analog inputs/outputs
The optional DABK-S701 A/D converter provides 2-channel analog
inputs; the optional DABK-S702 D/A converter provides 2-channel analog
outputs. Two DABK-S702 can be installed. With these converters, the
following signal processing options are available.
•48 kHz/24 bit Stereo analog in 4-channel analog out
•96 kHz/24 bit Stereo analog in Stereo analog out

Sampling Reverb Sources and Reverb Modes
Sampling Reverb Sources and Reverb Modes in the Supplied CD ROM
The following seven reverb sources are stored in the supplied CD ROM.
Multiple sampling data are provided for each reverb source. The required
sampling data is loaded according to the selected reverb program and the
selected reverb mode.
Reverb sources
Select a reverb program from the following reverb sources on the
REVERB display. The selected reverb program is loaded from the CD
ROM.
•Medium-size Hall A
•Medium-size Hall B
•Church A
•Church B
•Studio
•Plate A
•Plate B
Sampling Data
The following four types of sampling data are stored in the CD ROM for
each individual reverb source. Select the reverb mode on the SETUP
display, and the data in the selected mode is loaded from the CD ROM.
•Mono in Stereo out
•Stereo in Stereo out
•Mono in 4-channel out
•Mono in Stereo out 2Fs
For details on the sampling data of each reverb source, see the CD ROM jacket.
DASK-S70x Series Sampling Reverb Software
Reverb programs based on reverb sources other than those included in the
supplied CD ROMs are also available in the optional DASK-S70x series
sampling reverb software CD ROMs. Each reverb source is provided with
the same sampling data types as those in the supplied CD ROM.
Example: DASK-S701 European Halls & Churches
Includes seven famous halls and churches in Europe such as
the large concert hall “Concertgebouw” in The Netherlands.
For the DASK-S70x series sampling reverb software, consult your authorized
Sony dealer.

Rack Mounting
The DRE-S777 can be mounted on a 19-inch EIA standard rack. Use the
following mounting parts.
Necessary parts
•RMM-30 rail/rail bracket set (optional): 1 set
Front bracket (Part No. 2-142-214-01): 2, Rear bracket (Part No. 2-
142-215-01): 2, Screw B5 ×8: 8, Screw PWH4 ×10: 2, Plate nut M4
(Part No. 3-169-990-01): 2
Guide rail (Part No. 2-295-915-11): 2, Screw B4 ×8: 4, Plate nut (C)
(Part No. 3-651-812-01): 1
•Inner member mounting screw B4 ×10 (supplied with this unit): 4
Notes on mounting
•When mounting the DRE-S777 and other equipment on a rack, installing
a ventilation fan is recommended. To prevent heat build-up in the rack,
leave sufficient spaces above and below the unit so that the temperature
in the rack is lower than 35 °C (95°F).
•When mounting other equipment on the same rack, be sure to leave space
equivalent to one unit both above and below of the DRE-S777.
•Keep space of more than 30 mm (1 3/16 inches) at the rear of the heat sink
of the DRE-S777.
Rack mounting
1Attach the guide rails to the right and left sides of the unit using the
supplied inner member mounting screws.
2Temporarily attach the front and rear rail brackets to the rack using the
screws included in the rail bracket kit.
3While pressing in the stopper of the guide rail, insert the DRE-S777
into the rail brackets attached to the rack.
4Tighten the screws securing the front and rear rail brackets firmly.
