Applied Research and Technology, Inc., the Rochester, New York-based
manufacturer of analog and digital signal processing equipment, is now shipping the Quadra/Fx
effects processor.
The Quadra/Fx utilizes a specialized DSP processor combined with A R T's own Dynamic Engine
Allocation software, which allows for control over 30 effects algorithms. and features 20 Bit
A/D-D/A audio resolution, and 24 Bit double precision effects processing, which allows the Quadra/Fx
to process incredibly accurate and realistic algorithms.
Featuring four inputs and four outputs (two independent stereo audio channels), the Quadra/Fx may
operate in Twin Stereo (two independent stereo processors), Discrete 4 (four independent processing
channels), Cascade, or Stereo DSP configurations. Combined, these engines provide nearly unlimited
preset combinations. Effects and multi-effects can be arranged in any order with the Quadra/Fx's
full programmability, and can be stored to any of the 100 presets.
The Quadra/Fx's effects include Reverb (Chamber, Room, Hall, Plate, Gated and Reverse), Delay, Pitch
Shifting, Chorus, Flanging, Phaser, Tremolo, Panner, and a Rotary Simulator. Adjustable parameters
include Mix, Lo Eq, Hi Eq, Delay, Regeneration. Size, Decay, Shape, Pitch, Speed, Width, and more.
The Quadra/Fx also features a six step LED Signal VU Meter, and is Midi controllable.
Suggested applications for the Quadra/Fx include multi track home studio recording, digital audio
workstations and computer recording, FOH sound systems, midi recording and sampling, monitor mixing,
and musical instrument applications. For more information, visit their web site at www.artroch.com
