  • Page 6: General Description

    The VM-2120 (120 W) and VM-2240 (240 W) are multifunctional amplifiers that can be mounted in an EIA- Standard equipment rack (3-unit size). Both units come with 4 audio inputs including the background music input, and the speaker output section which has an internal attenuator and 5-zone selector.

  • Page 7: Handling Precautions

    4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS [VM-2120/VM-2240 and RM-200M/RM-210] To clean, be sure to first switch off the power supply to the unit, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the unit.

Broadcast Source-to-Priority Relationship • Making broadcast with higher priority cuts off the current lower-priority broadcast, allowing the higher priority broadcast to go through. Upon completion of the higher priority broadcast, the original broadcast is automatically restored. For background music (BGM) broadcast (Priority 4), it is also possible to mix it with other broadcasts or reduce its sound volume without cutting it off.
