Thank you for selecting the ZOOM RFX-2200 (hereafter simply called the "RFX-2200").
The RFX-2200 is a sophisticated digital reverb and multi-effect processor with the following
features and functions.
•Versatile effects and high-quality reverb
The RFX-2200 comes with a full complement of 48 preset effects (8 effects x 6 banks). The
reverb effects alone allow 121 different settings. The convincing sound stage created by the
RFX-2200 far surpasses anything else available in this class.
100 patch memory for immediate use
Up to 100 patches (effect settings) can be stored in the internal memory. Calling up any patch is
quick and easy.
Digital output
The S/PDIF output (with optical and coaxial connectors) allows connection to consumer
equipment with digital input (digital multitrack recorder, MD recorder, DAT recorder or
similar), keeping the signal in the digital domain.
MIC IN connector
The dedicated microphone connector on the front panel comes in handy for creating vocal
effects without having to make cumbersome connections in the rear. Controlling the VOCODER
effect is a snap thanks to this feature.
Built-in tap input
Time-based parameters such as delay time can be entered directly, using the tap input feature.
This makes it easy for example to match the delay time to the tempo of a song.
MIDI based control
Functions such as patch switching, real-time parameter control, and storing of patch data on
external equipment can be performed via a MIDI link.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully so as to get the most out of your RFX-2200 and to
ensure optimum performance and reliability. Retain this manual, the warranty card and all other
documentation for future reference.

This is an example for inserting the RFX-2200 between the
sound source such as a microphone or instrument and a
playback system or multi-track recorder (MTR). A stereo
source should be connected to the INPUT L/MONO and R
jacks. A mono source should be connected to the L/MONO
jack only.
In this example, the balance between original sound and effect
sound is adjusted with the MIX control of the RFX-2200.
When a component with an S/PDIF digital input (such as a
digital multitrack recorder, MD recorder, or DAT recorder) is
used, the connection can be made in the digital domain.
This section shows how to connect the RFX-2200 to the sound source and to the playback system.
This is an example for connecting the RFX-2200 to the
send/return jacks of a mixer or multi-track recorder. Connect
the send jack of the mixer or MTR to the INPUT L/MONO
jack of the RFX-2200, and connect the OUTPUT L/R jacks of
the RFX-2200 to the return jacks (or the stereo line input
jacks) of the mixer or MTR.
When a component with an S/PDIF digital input (such as a
digital multitrack recorder, MD recorder, or DAT recorder) is
used, the connection can be made in the digital domain.
In this configuration, the MIX control of the RFX-2200 should
be set so that it outputs only the effect sound, and the balance
between original sound and effect sound should be adjusted at
the mixer or multi-track recorder. If the mixer or multi-track
recorder has a stereo send output, supplying the send signal to
the RFX-2200 in stereo is also possible.
Insert Connection
Send/Return Connection
The RFX-2200 is compatible with international 19-inch rack
standards (EIA, DIN). Because the unit has been designed for
rack installation, it is preferable to operate the unit in this
way, rather than simply placing it on a table or similar. Align
the four screw holes with the rack screw holes and securely
fasten the unit to the rack with screws.
The RFX-2200 uses a metal frame, making
the unit heavier than it might seem at first
glance. While installing the unit in a rack,
carefully support the weight of the unit
until all screws are securely tightened.
Otherwise the unit may drop, possibly
causing injury to persons or damage to
itself or to other equipment.
Do not directly stack the unit on top of
other equipment. Otherwise heat may
lead to a fire risk or cause performance
degradation.
Before installation, always unplug any connecting
cables and the power cable. Otherwise the
equipment or the cables may be damaged.
Make sure that the rack in which the unit is
installed is placed on a firm, solid surface, so that
it cannot shake or topple over. Otherwise there is
a risk of injury to persons or damage to the unit
or to other equipment.

press the BYPASS key while the unit is in play
mode.
The BYPASS indicator lights up.
The RFX-2200 has two different bypass states, depending
on the effect in the currently selected patch. (For
information on which effects use which bypass type,
please refer to pages 14 - 22.)
WET MUTE
In this condition, only the effect sound is muted and the
original sound is output. The level of the original sound
output depends on the MIX control position. Therefore
there may be a drop in volume or the sound may be
entirely cut off.
DRY THRU
The original sound is output without any processing.
The setting of the MIX control has no effect on the
volume level.
2. To cancel the bypass mode and return the
RFX-2200 to the normal state, press the

RFX-2200 playback system.
3. While playing the sound source, turn up the
INPUT control of the RFX-2200 to adjust the
input level.
To minimize noise and distortion, the INPUT control
should be set as high as possible without causing the
CLIP LED to light. When using a mic plugged into the
MIC IN connector, set the MIC ON/OFF switch to ON so
that the indicator is lit.
4. Adjust the OUTPUT control and the volume
control of the playback equipment to obtain a
suitable playback volume.
1. Use the VALUE UP/DOWN keys to select the
number of the desired patch.
The VALUE UP key switches to higher patch numbers
and the VALUE DOWN key to lower patch numbers.
2. While playing the instrument or producing
sound from the sound source, switch patches
to check out the resulting sound.
The memory of the RFX-2200 contains 100 stored patches. The display shows the number of the currently selected patch (01,
02,...99, 00). This condition is called the play mode.
To switch patches, proceed as described below. We suggest that you simply try out various patches to see what kind of sound the
unit can produce.
You can temporarily turn effect processing off, so that only the original sound is output. This is useful to quickly check the
change brought about by an effect.
Turn power to the RFX-2200 and peripheral equipment on, and adjust the level.

Setting Parameters With the Tap Key (Tap Input)
1. Select a patch for which tap input is possible.
Whether tap input is possible or not depends on the effect
selected for that patch (see pages 14 - 22). When a patch
for which tap input is possible is selected, the TAP LED
flashes.
2. Hit the TAP key several times in the desired
interval.
The delay time or rate is set according to the tap interval
and the tap beat parameter set for the respective patch
(see page 12).
3. If desired, store the patch.
The parameter changed by tap input will revert to the
original setting when the patch is switched. To retain the
change, you should therefore store the patch.
The parameter which can be set by tap input is preset
(see pages 14 - 22).
The maximum interval that can be measured by the tap
input function is 2 seconds.
If the tap input interval is outside the setting range for
that parameter, it will be corrected to an acceptable
value.
If a parameter was set by tap input and is then changed
by moving the control knob for that parameter, the
control knob setting will override the tap input.
This function allows you to compare the currently edited sound to the sound before editing.
The RFX-2200 allows input of time-based parameters by tapping the TAP key at the desired intervals. For example, the flanger
modulation speed or delay time can be easily matched to the tempo of a song in this way.

The effect parameters of the RFX-2200 can be changed using MIDI control change messages sent from an external MIDI device
(MIDI keyboard or sequencer or similar). This is useful to change parameters from a separate location.
Operation functions of the front-panel controls of the RFX-2200 can be stored as control change messages on a MIDI sequencer
for later playback. This is convenient to play a sound source module on the sequencer and simultaneously adjust the RFX-2200 in
real time.
Instead of using the TAP key, it is also possible to use an external MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine) to
supply a MIDI clock for setting the delay time or rate that matches the clock tempo.

Data Transfer (Send)
Tap Beat Setting
6. Supply the MIDI clock from the external MIDI
device.
The delay time or rate is set according to the tempo of the
supplied MIDI clock and the tap beat parameter set for
the respective patch (see below).
7. If desired, store the patch.
The parameter changed by MIDI clock tap input will
revert to the original setting when the patch is switched.
To retain the change, you should therefore store the
patch.
When the patch was stored and the same patch is then
called up again, it suffices to supply the MIDI clock to
automatically adjust delay time or rate according to the
clock tempo.
If a parameter was set by MIDI clock tap input and is
then changed by moving the control knob for that
parameter, the control knob setting will override the MIDI
clock tap input.
The RFX-2200 counts 24 MIDI clock pulses as one
interval, using 1-ms units. The maximum interval that can
be measured is 2 seconds.
1. When using two RFX-2200 units, connect the
MIDI OUT connector on the first RFX-2200 to
the MIDI IN connector of the second RFX-
2200, and connect the MIDI OUT connector on
the second RFX-2200 to the MIDI IN
connector on the first RFX-2200. The MIDI
channel must be set to a matching setting.
Connection example for two RFX-2200 units
When using a MIDI sequencer or other MIDI device,
connect the MIDI OUT connector on the RFX-2200 to
the MIDI IN connector of the MIDI sequencer.
2. Press the MIDI key of the sending RFX-2200
three times.
The indication "dt" and the indication "AL" are shown
alternately on the display.
3. Use the VALUE UP/DOWN keys to select the
type of data to be sent.

4. To execute the data transfer, press the STORE
key.
The sending RFX-2200 starts to transmit the data. (The

The indication "bt" and the number showing the tap beat
note length setting are shown alternately on the display.
3. Use the VALUE UP/DOWN keys to set the note

The tap beat is a parameter that determines the length of the reference beat used for setting the delay time or rate when using the
tap input feature. For example, if the tap beat is set to "4" (quarter note), the length of one beat of the MIDI clock (24 clock
signals) or the interval in which the TAP key is hit will be taken as the delay time or rate. When the tap beat setting is "8" (eighth
note), the setting will be one half.
The patch information and learn table information stored internally in the RFX-2200 can be output via the MIDI link. This can be
used for example to exchange settings between two RFX-2200 units, or to store the data on a MIDI sequencer. The data can then
be reloaded into the RFX-2200 whenever required.

The RFX-2200 sends several system exclusive data in
succession. If a MIDI data recorder is used which stops
recording after receiving one set of system exclusive
data, the data of the RFX-2200 may not be stored
correctly.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
external MIDI device (sequencer etc.) to the
MIDI IN connector on the RFX-2200.
2. Perform playback at the external MIDI device.

Perform store as necessary.
When sending data to or loading data from an external
MIDI device, the RFX-2200 and the device must be set
to the same MIDI channel. Otherwise data will be
disregarded by the RFX-2200 also if playback is
performed on the external MIDI device.
•Playback at the external MIDI device must be performed
at the same tempo as recording. If the tempo is faster,
the RFX-2200 may not receive the data properly.

This bank contains mainly effects for processing stereo sources in various ways. Lo-Fi purposely degrades sound quality for
special effect. The ISOLATOR separates the signal into three bands whose level can be adjusted separately. The bank is useful
for example for 2-track mixing or DJ work.

The effects in this bank serve to tailor the overall mood of a song when performing mixdown (mixing multiple tracks onto two
final stereo tracks) or mastering (fine-tuning the sound and level of a final 2-track mix).
For optimum results, the effects in this bank should be used with the MIX control set to 99, so
that only the effect sound (WET) is output.

injury and damage to the equipment could
result.
Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure
hazard-free use of the RFX-2200.
Power requirements
Connect only to AC power outlets rated 100-120 V or 220-
240 V 50/60Hz (depending on the voltage range of the
unit; refer to the back panel).
Ground the unit by connecting the ground terminal of the
power plug to a good external ground. Do not ground to
water pipe, gas pipe, telephone wiring, or lightning arrestor
to prevent the risk of electric shock or explosion.
During lightning or when not using the unit for an
extended time, disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
Do not pinch the power cord, bend it forcedly, or place
heavy objects on the power cord.
Environment
Avoid using your RFX-2200 in environments where it will be
exposed to:
Extreme temperatures
Heat sources such as radiators or stoves.
High humidity or moisture
Excessive dust or sand
Excessive vibration or shock
Keep space around the unit for sufficient ventilation.
Do not impede the ventilation openings with objects such as
newspapers or curtains.
Handling
Never place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the RFX-2200 since this can cause electric shock.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on the RFX-2200 since this can cause fire.
The RFX-2200 is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue
pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not to
drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive
pressure.
Alterations
Never open the case of the RFX-2200 or attempt to modify
the product in any way since this can result in damage to the
unit.
Volume
Do not use the RFX-2200 at a loud volume for a long time
since this can cause hearing impairment.
Connecting cables and input and output
jacks
You should always turn off the power to the RFX-2200 and
all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables
and the power cord before moving the RFX-2200.
Usage Precautions
Electrical interference For safety considerations, the RFX-2200 has
been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission
of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection
from external interference. However, equipment that is very
susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic
waves should not be placed near the RFX-2200, as the possibility of
interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the RFX-2200 included,
electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can
corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of
damage.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the RFX-2200. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents
(such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the
finish or damage the surface.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future
reference.
