Page 6: Introduction
To generate reverberation that is very natural in character, we at BEHRINGER developed innovative virtual acoustics algorithms which allow for computing all room and reverb parameters with absolute pro-level quality and a highly natural sound character. -

Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel. - Page 8 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P Fig. 1.2: Display section of the DSP1024P The two LED CHAINS display the input signal level in dB, referenced to the internal digital maximum. Please note that the nominal level of the VIRTUALIZER PRO can be selected with the +4 dBu / -10 dBV switch located on the back panel.
- Page 9 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P Use the ENGINE R key to select the right audio channel (similar to : ENGINE L). If you wish to process the left and right audio channels simultaneously (couple mode), press both ENGINE keys together. In couple mode both ENGINE LEDs light up. Whenever you edit one of the two audio channels and then switch to couple mode, the parameters of the active channel will be copied to the other;...

Page 12: Special Effects
VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P Reverse Reverb: A reverb program with an inverted amplitude envelope, i.e. the effect starts softly and then increases in volume. This effect used to be created by playing a tape in reverse direction, recording the reverb signal, and then playing back the tape in forward direction again, with the result that the reverb signal was played back before the actual input signal. -
Page 13: Dual-Mode Effects Algorithms
VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P Tremolo & Delay: Since trip hop has become trendy, this effect – originally found in guitar amps – is used to produce a more or less fast and intensive variation of volume (with an additional panorama effect included in the DSP1024P). -

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P 2. OPERATION 2.1 Effects structure Fig. 2.1: Effects structure 2.2 Selecting presets The VIRTUALIZER PRO stores 100 user-definable presets. After power-up, the unit automatically recalls the preset last used. To select another preset, use the JOG WHEEL to enter the preset number of your choice. -

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P loading the data, the VIRTUALIZER PRO enables the preset and the dot disappears. This brief interruption avoids the direct activation of every preset, as you scroll through the preset list with the JOG WHEEL. Otherwise incomplete “parameter remnants” of presets could reach the audio outputs of the VIRTUALIZER PRO, with possibly disastrous consequences, especially when using a high-power P.A. - Page 16 VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P The third page allows for configuring controller commands. On its right-hand side, the DISPLAY shows a capital “C” (= Controller). The JOG WHEEL selects one of the following four controller modes: Display Mode No controller data are transmitted.

VIRTUALIZER PRO from your personal computer. 3. APPLICATIONS The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO is a highly flexible device that can be used for a wide variety of applications. Prior to a presentation of the VIRTUALIZER PRO’s many uses, please note the following remarks on how to set signal levels correctly. -
Page 18: Using The Virtualizer Pro In The Insert Path
Connect the two Input phone jacks with the Aux Send outputs of the mixing console, and the Output jacks of the VIRTUALIZER PRO with the Aux Return inputs of the console. If you want to use the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO in mono or dual mode, connect one audio channel (left or right) to one aux bus. -
Page 19: Using The Virtualizer Pro As An Effects Device For Instruments
Instrumentalists can benefit from a variety of advantages offered by the VIRTUALIZER PRO‘s MIDI implementation. For example, you can use a MIDI footswitch board, e.g. the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010, to send program change commands via MIDI. Connect the MIDI OUT jack of your MIDI board to the MIDI IN jack on the VIRTUALIZER PRO. -

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P The VIRTUALIZER PRO may also be inserted between the outputs of a keyboard and the inputs of a mixing console. If required, adjust the levels with the OPERATING LEVEL switch. 3.5 Using the VIRTUALIZER PRO in a MIDI system With its built-in MIDI interface the VIRTUALIZER PRO can be integrated into any MIDI system. -
Page 21: Technical Background
VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P 4. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND 4.1 Reverberation and reflection Prior to simulating the physical phenomena of reverberation and reflection, it is necessary to analyze how reverb is generated, and how it is perceived by human hearing. In a concert hall the sound the listener hears comprises both the source signals (e.g. acoustical instruments, P.A. -

“pure” reverb programs, because “common” reverb is still the most important effect for mix-down or live applications. Therefore, we at BEHRINGER want to provide you with a variety of reverb programs, so that you have appropriate presets available for each specific application. -
Page 23: Digital Reverb
VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P Room Plate Speaker Sender Microphone Receiver Fig. 4.2: Room reflections and reverb plate reflections Spring reverb devices use a similar principle, but their reverb sound is of inferior quality compared to a properly adjusted reverb plate. In particular, dynamic signals such as drums have a highly compressed and “flat” sound when they are reproduced with a spring reverb. -

This can cause fire and electric shocks and will endanger your life and the lives of others. 5.2 Audio connections As standard, the BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The new circuit design features automatic hum and noise reduction for balanced signals and thus allows for trouble-free operation, even at high operating levels. -

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP1024P 5.4 Operating Level switch To adapt the VIRTUALIZER PRO to the used operating level, the unit can be switched between homerecording level (-10 dBV) and professional level (+4 dBu). Use the LED bars on the frontpanel to determine the optimal setting. The Level indicators should read somewhere around -6 / -10 dB, while the clip LED should not light up at all. -
