assistant: Nikko ATD-1 Time Delay Synthesizer
   This unit connects in a full tape monitor loop to simulate live
sound from any stereo source.  You can select from three hall sizes
(small, medium, large), select from three sets of hall
characteristics, and five levels of reverberation.  This allows 45
discrete choices of sound field, not including the stage distance
setting which is continuously variable.  The unit includes a tape
monitor loop, and the processed signals can be recorded through the
loop.
   The unit includes input level control (with peak meter) and
output level control.  It has no built in amplifier, it must be
used with an external amplifier.  Rack mountable.  Excellent condition
complete with owners manual.
