DIGITAL EFFECTS
The Smartman has a flexible digital effect processor
that provides a number of useful effects with numerous
user-adjustable parameters. The Smartman Digital Effect
Processor features a number of different Reverb effects,
an echo effect, tap delay, chorus effect and flanger effect.
In addition to this, the digital effect processor can be used
as a stereo 31-band graphic equalizer.
The input for the digital effect processor is taken from the
Smartman's AUX mix. The AUX mix is made up of any
selection of the Smartman's input sources, as selected
through the AUX mix menu. This is described in the "AUX
MIX" section of the manual.
The desired effect can be selected on screen in both
the iPad software and the Windows control software.
Touching the effect icon on screen will simply bring up the
pop-up menu and a new effect can be selected.
Reverb effects have up to 8 variations for each reverb
type. This means there are a total of 24 different reverb
effects found within the Smartman system. Each reverb
further has 10 user-adjustable parameters that can further
enhance the already flexible effects.
Each digital effect within the Digital Effect Processor has
its own user-adjustable parameters that vary depending
SMARTMAN 708A
on the effect type. Please consult the Digital Effect
Table for detailed information on effect types and their
adjustable parameters.
The effect signal is processed and sent out through to
both the "Amp" mix (ie. the speaker) and the "Main" mix
(the left and right outputs).
The DFX processor's reset button will restore all controls
to factory default positions.
As previously mentioned, a 31-band graphic equalizer
can also be selected in the effect menu. This is a stereo
GEQ that provides 12 dB of boost and cut to the available
frequencies. Available frequency bands are (in Hz) 20,
25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400,
500, 630, 800, 1K, 1.25K, 1.6K, 2K, 2.5K, 3.15K, 4K, 5K,
8K, 10K, 12.5K, 16K and 20K.
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
The Smartman offers a 7-band graphic equalizer. This
helps enhance your audio output sent both through the
Speaker ("Amp") and stereo output connectors ("Main").
This GEQ works independent of that featured on the Digital
Effect Processor. Both can be utilized simultaneously or
you can choose to use one or the other.
