Break Switch; Rear Panel; Phantom Power Switch - YORKVILLE VGM14 Owner's Manual

11. Break Switch

The Break switch is a great feature, it may be used when the band goes on break
or while showing a video during a presentation since it mutes potential room noise
that might be picked up by the vocal microphones. When engaged, the Break LED
blinks and the audio signals from channels 1 through 14 are muted. Music can still be
played through the system by using the Media In jacks.
12. VU-Meter
The VU-Meter indicates the post Main EQ left and right audio levels. A good operating level
is when the music peaks illuminate the 0dB LEDs. Having the yellow +3 dB and +6 dB LEDs
flash occasionally is acceptable. You do not want the red +10dB LEDs coming on as this
indicates the possibility of clipping. Use the 0dB LED as the set level point for Solo PFL
signals.
13. Top Panel Input/Output Jacks
The Aux Out, Mon Out, and EFX Send phone jacks on the top panel are TRS output jacks
(balanced tip ring sleeve configuration). Use them to connect either balanced or unbal-
anced audio signals. The Stereo Return jacks are TRS balanced input jacks. You can con-
nect to the balanced or unbalanced outputs of audio equipment. The Media In and Media
Out RCA jacks are unbalanced.
14. LED Lamp
ONLY Connect 12VDC LED Lamps with a current consumption of 120mA (0.12 Amps) or
less to the BNC connector on the top panel, the lamp output is current limit protected.

1. Power Switch and Fuse
The power switch is located on the rear panel. It is unlikely that the fuse would blow but
if there is the suspicion that the fuse has blown first:
A. Confirm that there is 120VAC/230VAC at the point where the VGM14 power plug con-
nects to either a wall plug, a power-bar or an extension cord.
B. Confirm that the power switch is turned on.
C. If the VGM14 Power LED is still off, disconnect the AC power cord from the VGM14.
D. Use a screwdriver to slide out the fuse drawer located on the IEC AC power socket
of the VGM14.
E. If you can see that the fuse is blown replace with the same type T500mAL
(sloblo) type fuse. It is very important to replace the fuse with exactly the
same type of fuse.
F. When powering up the VGM14 with the new fuse and the fuse blows again, then
your VGM14 may require service from an authorized service technician.

2. Phantom Power Switch

Phantom Power is available on all XLR microphone inputs, including the stereo channels.
Even though dynamic microphones do not need phantom power, having the phantom
power turned on will not harm dynamic microphones. When connecting microphones it is
safest to turn off the phantom power to avoid loud pops. The Phantom Power switch is
located on the rear of the mixer. Beside the Power LED the Phantom Power LED is in the
upper right area of the control panel.
To obtain the best performance from your condenser microphones 48 volt Phantom
