For more than 15 years the letters “SPX” have been synonymous with professional multi-effect processors, and over that time you would almost always find an SPX90, SPX90II, SPX900, SPX1000 or SPX990 in any well-equipped studio or live-sound rack. The SPX2000, while inheriting the standard interface and popular programs from its predecessors, brings a new dimension to the SPX sound with advanced REV-X reverb algorithms and 24-bit, 96k-Hz audio processing. It also offers an innovative user interface with features such as five assignable LCD backlight colors, operation lock modes, and computer-based editing. The SPX2000 is a new-generation multi-effect processor that delivers performance that is a perfect match for Yamaha’s DM series Digital Production Consoles, and is suitable for applications from live sound to production studios. The Yamaha SPX2000 Digital Effects Processor is a truly superior rack unit incorporating their most advanced technology with the emphasis on tonal quality and usable effects, including Rev-X reverb algorithm and 96kHz audio DSP. Dream studio reverb and early reflection effects with micro-parameter controls; versatile high-quality delays and echoes; sophisticated pitch shift with sound mixing, feedback, and synch to tempo; a broad palette of mod effects including stunning rotary; a powerful filter section that’s MIDI controllable; a full assortment of very musical and useable distortions; lots of combination effects; and a heady phrase sampler make it a studio workhorse and a magician onstage. MIDI I/O/T, USB, word clock, AES/EBU XLR I/O, left and right 1/4″ and XLR ins and outs with choice of -10dBu or +4dBu make it easy to integrate into any system.
