CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
EVen ifyou are not tecnically inclined, v€ urge 1ou to read ttris chapter.
A basic understanding of how signals are processed ttrrough the EFFECIRON If
vril1 make it easier to predict the effect of control settings and easier to
plan control settings to achieve desired sound effects. BrtT first a word
about ttre ngiuts" of the design.
Orly the latest technology has been used in ttre design of ttre EEFEIBON II.
this aSplies to conqnnents as well as circuit design.
For exarple:
1. ltre po,v'er sulp1y uses a toroidal transforner to minimize hum and
eliminate stray rngnetic fields.
2. Ihe digital nrenory consists of bottr 15K and ttre new 54K (used
in the ADM 1024) Dynamic MMrs (Random Access Merory).
3. A11 digital integrated circuits are CI'DS for lovr [D$er.

Ihe correct otrnrating 1eve1 is set by observing the green ACTIVE rpnitor and
the red LIMIT npnitor located on the front paneI. llhese LDrs npnitor ttre
level as seen by the encoding circuits. For maxfurum dlznamic range, the
active LD should be full-on wittr a rare flashing of ttre LI}IIT LD during
pak trnssages in ttre audio inptrt.
Grce the proper inp:t leve1 has been set, the audio signal is directed to a
pre-enphasis circuit to pre-condition ttre signal before ttre actual Analog-
to-Digital conversion takes place.
After pre-enptrasis, ttre pre-conditioned signal is ncxc sent to tJre AZb
encoder to be converted to a digital signal. It is here ttrat DELTNAB holds
all the aces. Itre Analog-to-Digital encoding schenre is unique. A carefully
designed Adaptive Delta lbdulator converts ttre audio signal by analyzing
both the value and s1ery rate of ttre signal. ftre resu]t is ttre rpst accurate
digital representation of the audio signal trnssible over the fulI dlnanic
range.
IGxt, the digital signal representing ttre audio is stored in ttre digital
IIEIIpry. Access to this rrErnory is via ttre trushbutton switches located on ttre
front panel. [Jtrnn selection of a given deIay, as indicated by the
lushbutton, the digital signal is extracted frqn ttre rerpry and sent to ttre
Digital-to-Analog decoder. Ir1cte ttrat ttre f;7D, the remory and ttre D/A are
slznchronized to a conmon clock to insure the protrnr addressing of ttre renory
banks and to provide ttre sanpling rate for the A7b encoder and D/A decoder.
ftre O/a decoder is ttre perfect conplinent of the Adaptive Delta ttlodulation
encoder. At the p/a output, the signal is sent to an inverting arnplifier
and furttrer directed to bottr the FEDBACK and DEIAY MD( controls located on
the front paneI.
Ihe DEAY control is a center tapped trntenticrneter, i.e., the
[vlD(
unprocessed inprt signal is alplied at ttre center tap and each phase of the
delayed signal is alplied at ttre extreme terminals. As such, a single
control is all ttrat is necessary to mix ttre processed signal (either phase)
with the input (source) signal.
Ihe final mix is then de-erphasized to restore ttre audio to its protEr
leve1s. ftre outtrxrt is available at the GIIP[}T phone jack on ttre rear-paneI.
Ihe final audio signal available at ttre Q}IPUT jack is furttrer processed by
a trntented phase shift circuit to simulate stereo output. ltris circuit
keeps the lovr frequencies in tr*rase t*rile providing a controlled anount of
phase shift for mid and high frequencies. Itre result is a very realistic
form of simulated stereo signal. The sinulated stereo output is available
by using both the tip and ring of ttre OIIIPIIT jack.
Meamvlnile, back at ttre FEEDBACX control, the processed audio (delayed
signal) is fed back to a surTrning point and mixed wittr ttre incoming signals
at ttre ArzD converter input. The FEDBACK control, like the DE.AY !tD(
control is a center ta5ryed Sntentioreter. fhe center tap is grounded so
ttrat ttrere will be no feedback l*ren ttre control is on ttre center Snsition.
Again, like the DEIAY MD( control, bottr phases of ttre processed audio are
available at each extrene terminal. llherefore, only one FEEDBACK control is
used for both positive and negative feedback.
Before being mixed wittr ttre pre-conditioned inprt, the feedback signal is
filtered via a L2kHz low trnss filter to create a rpre natural and pleasant
sounding echo retrnat as well as to keep ttre noise level from hrilding up
when nnximum feedback is used.
A digital feedback Inth exists from ttre nernory outtrut to ttre rerpry inp:t
constitutjng an infinite retrnat c1rc1e. B1r depressing the red INFIMTE
REPEAT Sush button to the 'in" Snsition, the digital rerory is recirculated
i:rdefinitely. ftre resulting audio out is an echo ttrat never dies out. Itl
ttre ADIvI 256, ttris echo is 256 msec (L/4 of a second) at ttre maxfun:m setting
of the DEIAY FACTOR control: Ihis sare echo is over a fuII second (1024

located on the rear panel. B1r shorting ttre TIP to ttre RllG, the pre-
conditioned audio is directly routed ttrrough ttre cable and back to the de-
enphasizing circuitry in ttre unit to b14nss all digital and feedback signal
paths. A sirple schenB for doing ttris is shovn on ttre next 5nge.

BYPASS JACK
Stereo Cable
Ihe foltowing functions are not in the signal path, but are useci to control
the basic bit rate clock to create strEcial effects other than those that
resul-t by sinple feedback. Ihere are three front panel controls whose
function is to provide a control rroltage into the precision Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (WO) used as the digital bit rate and sanpling clock.
For exanple, a control voltage of 0 to 5 rrcIts will vary ttre clock for 250
kHz to 1 MHz wtrich results in a four to one (two octave) range.
Setting ttre WIUffi control, located on the front panel, in ttre 0 position,
ttre DEISY FACIOR control (a1so located on ttre front panel) provides ttre
required voltage as shovnr below in ttre block diagram. WLren an external

:
Feed a signal into ttre EFFFIBOI{ IIrs inSutr Sush ttre echo button
and ttren increase ttre DEIAY FACIOR until ttre delay tine is long
enough to be trnrceived as a discrete echo. While ttris echo can be
mixed directly with the dry sound, a more interesting result is
usually obtained by panning ttre echo elsewhere in the stereo image
with a stereo mixer; i.e.7 place ttre dry sound on ttre left and the
echo otr4nsite it on the right. Itre echo usually should be a bit
lower in leve1 than the dry source.
Itris left-right echo bouncing effect is lnrticularly useful wittr a
regular drum beat or a tr,ro-note guitar figure that is used to set
the beat. B1r varying the DELAY FAC:IIOR, lotl IIBy be able to
slznchronize ttre echo interval to match the rhythm of ttre rmsic so
that ttre source and its echo faIl on alternate beats.
10
If the delay is 10 to 20 dB lower in 1evel than the source, it
will be trnrceived as an echo .- especially if it is placed in the
otr4nsite channel. ff ttre delay is reproduced at ttre sane level as
the source, it will be identified as a repeat rattrer ttran as an
echo such as from a distant waII or canlon.
b. DOUBLII{G, $TICKENI}re, BROADENII\IG
Itris process simulates two vocal tracks with a sna11, but constant
delay between them. Of course, l*ren real voices are recorded or
overdulcbed, ttrey have varying sna11 differences between them. So,
to make its doubling seem nore realistic, use ttre IIffiUIATOR to
continuously vary ttre de1ay. Ihe action nu.rst be sulctle so as to
avoid audible pitch wobble. Setting the widttr and speed controls
both to between 7:00 and 9:00 orclock, usually produces a
pleasingly realistic doubling effect wittr no audi"ble side effects.
C. PRE.REVMB DEIAY

In a concert environnrent, the listener hears the direct sound from
ttre perfonner, folloued by trearlyn reflections from the floor and
wa1ls of the stage and finally the reverberation ourprised of long
delap as sound is reflected anong ttre walls of ttre auditoriurn.
When using a reverb slctem to process dry studio sound, pre-reverb
delay can also serve as ttre 'early' stage-area reflections, sinply
by including thern in ttre mix.
d. IIAAS-EFFFT IMA@ SHIFTIIiG
By using the feedback control, the delayed signal is fed back and mixed with
the incoming audio signal and thren the congnsite signal is encoded and read
into the digital delay circuits. Itre strength and tonal Erality of ttre
feedback rnay be adjusted by the user. Ihe maxinnrm feedback gain is less
than unityi tttus, like a real sound reflecting off any surface, the recycled
signal is at least a little weaker than ttre original, drld as ttre sound is
retrntitively recycled through ttre system, it gradually fades away.

both the direct sound and a reflected sound from the floorr waIl
or music stand) and in plalback (wtrere a loudspeakerrs direct
sound conbines in ttre air with reflections off room boundaries and
furnishings). Ihis pattern of alternating reinforcenent and
cancellation causes an audible coloration of the sound.
b. FIA}GIIiG
If the unit is setup to produce conb filtering and ttren the delay
tfure is snoothly varied, the Snttern of peaks and nu11s will shift
in frequency. lbdulate the delay tiue rapidly and the trnttern of
trnaks and nu11s wi}l sweep rapidly up and dovm the frequency
spectrum trnssing in and out of slznchronization with the
frequencies of musical signals and ttreir overtones. Select
relatively short delays so ttrat the strncing of ttre nul1s
corresgnnds to ttrat of musical. harrnonics. A.s ttre delay is swept,
at one rorent, ttre odd-nwlcered harronics are enhanced by 6 dB -
a rnorent later, tte harmonic structure of ttrat note is sliding
into alignrent with ttre harnpnic overtones of a different note.
Ihis sweeping, shifting change is calIed "flanging'.
Iro achieve iL, one need only setup ttre delay and mixing as
reE:ired for corb filtering and then activate ttre modulator
to sweep the delay tine up and down. Typically the rpdulator
IflUIH is set at maxinum in order to produce a broad srreep and the
npdulator SPED is set at a npdest value (e.9., between 7:00 and
9:00 orclock) so that ttre conb filter stneeps up and down every few
seconds. A high setting of the npdulator SPEED would sreep the
notch trnttern over ttre musical spectrum too rapidly for the
changing harnpnic structure of the music to be heard and might
also cause audible pitch vrcbble of ttre musical signal itself. You
strould exlnrfurent to find ttre settings of DELAY, WIDIH, SPED and
mixing ratio which yield interesting flanging effects with
various vocal and instrumental sounds. rn general, higher-pitched
sounds work best with shorter delays.
rlixing the dry and delayed signals at approxinately ttre sare level
causes corb filtering (a trnttern of nu11s and peaks in frequency
restrrcnse). l,lodulation of the delay tire causes ttre trnttern of
13
nulls and 1reaks to sneep ttrrough the nnrsical strnctrum producing
'flangingn.
A stronger, richer flange is reproduced by using maximrm feedback
to create a chain of closely-sSnced de1a1e v*rose uniform spacirg
strartrnns and strengthens ttre corb filter peak and nu11s. Select
short delays such as I or 4 mS and set ttre FEDBACK near the
maximum setting, either trnsitive or negative. Fina1ly, npdulate
ttre delay by setting npdulator WIum at maxirmm and Spnm betueen
7:00 orclock (for a slow flange) and 12:00 orclock (for a fast
flange). Iibte ttrat is is ingnrtant to use near maxim.un feedback
so that each successive recycled delay is at nearly the sane
strengttr as its predecessor, yielding the strongest
reinforcerent/cancellation pattern. Itre flange can be varied, of
course, by selecting different front pnel deIa1e. If the V{IUI}I
control is set less than naximum, the DEIAV FACTIOR can be used
to alter ttre delays and thus shift ttre frequencies of ttre corb-
filter Snttern. Finally, ttre flanged signal must be mixed with
the dry signal via the delay mix control.
d. FEDBACK PTIASE II{\MSION
Ihe feedback phase control gives you ttre oStion of drixing the
feedback de1a1e eittrer in phase (+) or out of trhase (-) with the
incoming dry signals. Itris choice alters ttre frequency
distribution of any conb-filtering coloration which may occur as a
result of corbining dry and delayed signals. You can make this
choice by ear. I'lhen using feedback, sfurply rotate the feedback
control to find out wtrether lnsitive or negative feedback sounds
better in each trnrticular situation.

ltre pitch of ttre tuned resonance may be varied dynardcally by
rreans of the \rcO t1picaIIy by setting ttre WIDIH close to
maxinnrm SPED between-9:00 and 12:00 orclock. An unpitched

earlier, the pitch shift detrnnds on ttre change in clock sped.
