Eventide Reverb 2016 Specifications

The Eventide Reverb 2016 by Princeton Digital recreates the legendary reverbs from Eventide's SP2016
- Stereo Room, Room Reverb and High Density Plate - and contains 3 new algorithms that provide
updated variations on each of the original reverbs. It features two channels of 24 bit audio I/O.
With dedicated function knobs and an intuitive user-interface, the 2016 is designed for easy operation –
live or in the studio – and all the instructions you'll ever need are contained in this Quick Reference Guide.
I/O Controls and Indicators
Dig In toggles selection of analog or
digital source for the effect, and lights a
yellow LED when digital is selected.
The LED will flash to indicate digital
selection without a valid signal present at
the S/PDIF input.
Algorithms which run in mono sum the
inputs before processing, and light the
yellow front panel Mono LED.
Set Output Level to the hottest signal that
does not cause clipping of your input
device.
Use the Headroom indicators to set
Input Level so that the clip LEDs rarely
light.
Press Kill to mute the input to the reverb.
Press Bypass to remove the 2016 from
the signal chain (just as when Power is
Off).
Presets
The Reverb 2016 contains 99 user-definable preset locations. We've organized the factory
presets into the banks shown here, with the presets generally progressing from small to
large spaces within each bank.

Algorithm Selection
Press Algorithm repeatedly to cycle
selection of one 6 reverb effects.
Colored LEDs indicate selection of Stereo
(red), Room (yellow), Plate (green), or one
of the 3 New (blue) effects: New Stereo,
New Room, or New Plate.
Program Select, Load, Save

Parameter Adjustment
Each of the Reverb 2016's 7 parameters has
a dedicated control knob/switch. Press any
knob to display the current parameter value.
Turn to adjust the value. Parameter settings
are shown on the numerical display during
adjustment.
Mix adjusts the wet/dry ratio from
completely dry to 100% effect. Use in
conjunction with some Predelay.
Predelay introduces a stereo delay
(0-999 ms) before the reverb effect. Press
while turning for coarse adjustment.
Decay (RT-60) sets the time (in seconds)
for a full amplitude signal to decay by
60 dB. (The maximum varies with the
selected algorithm.)
Position adjusts the arrival time, energy,
frequency response and diffusion of the
early reflections to give the impression of
being close to the source (Front), far away
(Rear), or anywhere in between.
Diffusion alters the character of your
space – from the sharp reflections of flat,
hard surfaces (Low) to the diffused reflec-
tions from rough, irregular ones (High).
EQ – Low Turn to cut or boost the low
frequency portion of the reverb. Press and
turn to select the roll-off frequency.
Be careful – boosting the low frequency
with a long Decay time can cause the
effect to run away.
EQ – High Turn to cut the high frequency
portion of the reverb. Press and turn to
select the roll-off frequency.
