ENSONIQ Introduces the DP/4+ Parallel Effects Processor

MALVERN, PA, March 1, 1995--ENSONIQ has released the DP/4+ Parallel Effects
Processor, the successor to its popular DP/4. This 2U rack device
incorporates the same 4 processor approach that revolutionized signal
processing, and incorporates many enhancements suggested by end-users.

The DP/4+ features 4 balanced (TRS) inputs and outputs, and has a
combination XLR/ 1/4" input conveniently located on the front panel. With
4 independent 24-bit processors the DP/4+ can process from 1, 2, 3, up to
4 different signals, with numerous choices for signal routing between
processors. Each processor (Unit) is a completely programmable,
high-quality custom DSP chip. The DP/4+ is capable of producing any of 54
different algorithms. These algorithms include a variety of reverbs,
delays, chorus, flange, phaser, EQ and compressor, and guitar-style
effects.

New to the DP/4+ are 2 algorithms designed to emulate the dynamic "crunch"
of a Class A tube amplifier. When played lightly there can be as little
distortion as desired. As you play harder the sound gradually gains
distortion, with complete control over the "feel" of the dynamics. Also
added for the guitar player is a guitar tuner, and 4 other amp and speaker
simulations. In addition, there is a new vocal "remover' algorithm,
perfect for instant karaoke and vocalist's practicing.

The DP/4+ holds 400 Presets, with 100 each for I Unit, 2 Unit, 4-Unit and
Config Presets (global settings of the entire DP/4+, including input
routing, Unit Presets, and other settings). The DP/4+ has LED' s to show
what input routing is used for each Preset chosen for user-friendly
operation.

Other new features include ground-compensated inputs/outputs, a +4/-10 dB
switch, a headphone jack with the ability to mute the outputs for
isolating signals in the phones for silent editing/practicing, and
seamless switching between effects (by crossfading to clean and then into
the new effect).

"Our success with the DP/4 far exceeded our plans--the market really took
to our unique approach," states ENSONIQ President Bruce Crockett. "We
believe this was fueled by the phenomenal growth in home/project
recording, which the DP/4 fit perfectly. Now the DP/4+ adds many features
requested by our users; making it better for the guitar player, and
integrate better into the studio environment."

The DP/4+ is now shipping, and retails for $1795.00 (US). For further
