ONY SAMPLING REVERB DRE-S777 (YOM:????) (SN:TBD)

THESE ARE HARD TO FIND. I'VE OWNED LEXICON 480, 960, SONY DRE-2000, EMT 240 GOLD PLATE — YOU NAME IT. THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST NATURAL SOUNDING REVERB THAT I AND MY CLIENTS HAVE EVER HEARD. I'M PARTING WITH IT (AND A LOT OF OTHER GEAR) RELUCTANTLY BECAUSE I'VE MOVED INTO A SMALLER SPACE WITH NO ROOM FOR OUTBOARD GEAR L.

THE DRE-S777 IS A DIGITAL REVERB THAT USES REAL SAMPLED HALLS AND SPACES, AS OPPOSED TO DIGITALLY SIMULATED ENVIRONMENTS. IT ALSO OFFERS A SAMPLING OPTION SO THAT USERS CAN CAPTURE FAVORITE ACOUSTIC SPACES OF THEIR OWN. A NEWLY DEVELOPED DSP ALLOWS REAL IMPULSE RESPONSE (RIR) PROCESSING, PROVIDING HIGH-SPEED CALCULATIONS THAT RE-CREATE NATURAL REVERBERATION BASED ON ACTUAL ACOUSTIC SPACES.

BOTH ANALOG AND DIGITAL OUTS, WITH 24 BIT D-A.

THIS UNIT IS IN NEARLY NEW, SPOTLESS CONDITION AND INCLUDES THE STANDARD CD FOR STUDIOS, HALLS, ROOMS, AND PLATES. ADDITIONAL CDS ARE AVAILABLE FROM OTHER USERS. THIS HAS THE V2 SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND WAS USED IN A SMOKE-FREE, LABORATORY SETTING. THE ONLY THING THAT ISN'T SPOTLESS IS THAT THERE IS THE CUSTOMARY MOUNTING SCRATCHING ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM METAL PLATES FROM ADJACENTLY MOUNTED GEAR (A SONY DRE-2000 ABOVE AND A GML 8200 BELOW).

THE SOUND OF THE HALLS AND CHURCHES IS SUPREME. TO AN OLD-SKOOL FOOL LIKE MYSELF, IF I HADN’T SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES, YOU COULDN’T HAVE CONVINCED ME WITH MY OWN EARS. THE ALGORITHMS ARE SO SMOOTH. THE SOUND IS WARM – YET CLEAN – WITHOUT ANY OF THAT DIGITAL BRITTLENESS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH DIGITAL REVERBS. NOW THAT I’VE USED THIS BOX FOR A WHILE, I DON’T THINK SONY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK FROM ME. THIS ONE’S A KEEPER!
