The Eventide BD600+ is a game - changer in the world of delay technology. It provides an outstanding 80 seconds of top - notch delay, which is twice the capacity of other systems. You can easily adjust the delay buffer length from 4 seconds up to the full 80 seconds, and customize the dump length in 1/2 - second increments up to 10 seconds per segment. Each time you press the DUMP button, only one segment is removed, guaranteeing continuous protection. The unique'sneeze' button quickly mutes incoming audio, letting you handle coughs, sneezes, or short comments without any dead air. Ideal for HD radio stations, it offers precise subsample adjustable delay for seamless analog - to - digital synchronization. Its MicroPrecision Delay ensures smooth on - air adjustments without any audible artifacts. With improved fidelity, extended delay protection, and enhanced remote control features, the BD600+ sets a new benchmark in broadcast delay technology, the result of three decades of industry - leading innovation. Key features include micro - precision delay mode for HD synchronization, 80 seconds of delay protection, USB remote control, 'Panic' for WAV file playback during delay rebuild, 24 - bit AES/EBU digital I/O with optional wordclock sync, 24 - bit analog XLR I/O, user - defined 'dump' length segmentation,'sneeze' button for quick edits, remote control capability, easy - to - wire euroblock for remote hookup, RS - 232 I/O, programmable I/O, and a remote option with 16 bi - polar opto - isolated inputs and 16 open - collector outputs. Specifications are as follows: Analog I/O has XLR pin 2 hot, true differential balanced, +4 dBm nominal; Digital I/O has 2 channels of 24 - bit AES/EBU; Remote has 4 configurable inputs and 2 relay - isolated status outputs; Compact Flash Interface supports Type I and Type II Compact Flash cards for .WAV sample playback and software update; Sample Rate can be 48kHz, 44.1kHz, Word Clock, or AES/EBU; Power is 40W, 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60Hz; Dimensions are 19' (w) x 10.5' (D) x 1.75' (H) / 48.3cm (W) x 26.7cm (D) x 4.5cm (H); Weight is 4.1 kg / 9 lb.
Using the Eventide BD600+ is quite straightforward. First, connect your audio sources to the appropriate analog or digital inputs, following the specifications. You can then start adjusting the delay settings as needed. To set the delay buffer length, use the controls to select a value between 4 and 80 seconds. For customizing the dump length, increment it in 1/2 - second steps up to 10 seconds per segment. When you need to handle sudden noises or short comments, press the'sneeze' button to briefly mute the incoming audio. The remote control options give you more flexibility to operate the device from a distance. When it comes to maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Make sure to regularly update the software using the Compact Flash Interface to ensure optimal performance. Also, check the power supply to avoid any issues. If you encounter any problems with the audio quality or the functionality, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
