  About the MX300 ConneCTIng The mX300 The MX300 is an extremely versatile effects processor capable of a wide variety of ap- plications. The MX300’s multiple routings offer several connectivity options, making it extremely flexible both in the studio and for live sound. The following setups explain how the MX300 should be connected and which routings apply for your specific effects processing needs.

  Using the MX300 (Fig. A) In Figure A the Edit Knobs A, B, and C will modify the Tape Delay effect’s Delay Time, Delay Ratio, and Feedback parameters respectively. Programs using routing 5 — Stereo have several other parameters that can be modified from the Edit Effect menus.

• Page 24: Effects Descriptions

  Effects Descriptions effeCTs desCrIPTIons Parallel vs. serIal The MX300 can be used as both a Parallel and Serial (in-line) effects processor. Typically, reverbs and delays are used in parallel, compressors and de-essers in serial, and modulated effects can be used in either configuration, depending on the desired application.

• Page 25
  Effects Descriptions MX300 Hall Reverbs — Stereo small hall, large hall, vocal hall, drum hall A Hall reverb is designed to emulate the acoustics of a concert hall – a space large enough to contain an orchestra and an audience. Because of the size and character- istics, Halls are the most natural-sounding reverbs, designed to remain “behind”…
• Page 26
  Effects Descriptions Reverse Reverb — Mono In/Stereo Out Reverse reverb works in the opposite fashion from normal reverb. Whereas a normal reverb has the loudest series of reflections heard first that then become quieter over time, the Reverse reverb has the softest reflections (essentially the tail of the reverb) heard first, and then grows louder over time until they abruptly cut off.

• Page 27: Bass Boost

  Effects Descriptions MX300 Diffusion Controls the initial echo density. High settings of Diffusion result in high initial echo density, and low settings cause low initial density. In a real-world situation, irregular walls cause high diffusion, while large flat walls cause low diffusion. For drums and percussion, try using higher Diffusion settings.

• Page 28: Delays

  Effects Descriptions ER Time Adjusts the amount of time before reverb early reflections occur. ER Level Adjusts the level of early reflections within the reverb. Feedback Delay Changing this parameter changes the resonant frequencies of Plate reverb. Feedback Level Adjusts the Plate reverb’s presence and prominence. Boing This is a unique parameter to the Spring reverb, designed to increase or decrease the amount of spring rattle that is a physical characteristic of spring tank reverbs.

• Page 29
  Effects Descriptions MX300 Modulated Delay — Stereo The Modulated Delay is enhanced by an LFO (low frequency oscillator) that produces a chorusing effect on the delay repeats. This is a great delay for guitar and instrument passages that need that “special something.” The Modulated Delay features up to 2.5 seconds of stereo modulated delay.
• Page 30
  Effects Descriptions Ducker Level Ducker Level is the level you want the delay to be heard at when signal is present. This provides attenuation (up to 18dB) of the delay signal while a performer is singing or playing to help provide intelligibility. As the performance pauses, the delay signal level returns to its normal setting.

• Page 31: Dbx ® Dynamics

  Effects Descriptions MX300 dynamICs ® The MX300 offers two dynamics processing modules, De Esser and Compressor, that utilize dbx’s legendary digital dynamics processing technology. De-Esser — Stereo A De-Esser is a type of compressor used to tame excessive sibilance, or the “s” sounds in a vocal performance.

• Page 32
  Effects Descriptions Dynamics Controls Ratio Determines the amount of compression, from 1:1 (no effect) to Infinity:1 (complete limiting). Frequency Selects the frequency range of compression from 1600Hz to 10kHz (the most common frequencies in which excessive sibilance occurs). Bandwidth Controls the bandwidth or “Quality” (Q) of frequency range. The higher the selected value, the tighter the bandwidth, and less apparent the de-essing effect is.

• Page 33: Modulated Effects

  Effects Descriptions MX300 modulaTed effeCTs Chorus — Stereo Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the other signals vary in pitch very slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up tracks and to add body to guitars without coloring the original tone.

• Page 34
  Effects Descriptions The Rotary effect is modeled after a Leslie-style cabinet. The input signal is split into high and low-frequency bands. The rotation effect is created by a synchronized com- bination of pitch shifting, tremolo, and panning. Like the physical cabinet, the high (horn) and low (rotor) frequencies are “spun”…
• Page 35
  Effects Descriptions MX300 PreDelay Determines the amount of offset between the two signals that create the flange effect. Lower values create a tighter effect, higher values result in a more extreme «whoosh- ing» sound. Waveform Selects the wave pattern used by the modulated effect. Phase Controls whether amplitude or depth change occurs in both left and right outputs simul- taneously or alternates between left and right outputs.

• Page 37: Analog Output

  MX300 System Menus MX300 sources. The MX300 offers three different input sources to select from: Anlg Mono L (Left), Anlg Stereo, and Digital. Input Source refers to whether you will be using the analog Input pair or the S/PDIF digital input. When only a single analog input is to be used, connect to the analog Input Left input only and select Anlg Mono L as the Input Source.

• Page 38
  MX300 System Menus Analog Out Level The MX300 outputs can be optimized to run with equipment requiring different output levels. High end audio systems run at +4dBu levels while many inexpensive system levels run at –10dBV levels. Consult the technical guides that came with the equipment you will be connecting the MX300 to so as determine which output level should be selected.
