<P><IMG SRC="hotsprgs.jpg" HSPACE=10 HEIGHT=194 WIDTH=259 ALIGN=LEFT>You
know the problems with spring reverbs - nearly all of them are twangy,
boingy; bassy, boomy and noisy. But the Hot Springs is none of these.</P>
<P>Craig Anderton's innovative design incorporates some of the same tricks
that are used to "hot rod" guitar pickups. Instead of a single
reverb tank, this design uses two tanks with the input and output transducers
connected in such a way that the original audio as well as "sproings"
and "boings" are canceled out leaving only clean multiple echoes
and reflections. </P>
<P>The second trick is to drive the input transducers with a current source
for equal drive at high and low frequencies. This emphasizes the bright
high end and de-emphasizing the muddy, bassy sound typical of spring reverbs
to produce a clarity usually associated with expensive studio plate systems.
</P>
<P>Finally, the connection of the output coils doubles the overall output
level so the recovery amp can have lower gain, significantly improving
Signal-to-Noise ratio. The end result is a very high quality analog reverb
system that offers an attractive combination of high performance ajnd low
cost . </P>
