Master Out - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Application Manual

PHONES
Plug a pair of headphones into the PHONE jack. Use the PHONES control on the front panel to adjust the
volume. The PHONES jack and the MASTER OUT jacks have exactly the same program material
INPUT B
These Inputs are analog audio RCA phono type jacks for any type instrument or device that uses an RCA
phono type jack (i.e. CD player, tape deck, etc.) Any of the four Inputs can be routed to any recording
track. The front panel knobs labeled INPUT SENS control the volume of Inputs 1-4.
INPUT A
These input jacks, are identical in audio function to the analog RCA phono type jacks labeled Input B.
However, there are two main differences:
1. 1/4" phone jacks are used for Input A.
2. Input A overrides Input B. i.e. If you have an input source plugged into an Input B (RCA
jack) and then plug a cable in the corresponding Input A (1/4" phone jack), the Input B
source will not be heard.
AUX SEND A & B
These outputs allow recorded tracks to be sent to external devices in addition to the Maser Outs. There are
a number of reasons you might want to do this. For example, you might use the Aux Sends to route the
bass track to an external effects processor for compression and the vocal track to an external effects
processor for harmonizing. External effects can be used simultaneously with the VS8F-1 Effects Expansion
Board (if installed). Another application for the Aux Sends is to provide additional individual outputs. By
assigning two tracks to the Aux Send busses and panning them left and right, those tracks will have
discrete analog outputs. This method provides four discrete analog outputs from the VS-880.

MASTER OUT

These RCA phono type jacks provide the main stereo output from the VS-880. Normally you will connect
these jacks to the left and right inputs of your external amplifier or speaker system. If you are using the VS-
880 with an external mixing console, simply plug a cable from each master output connector to a separate
input of your mixing console.
The identical audio program material appears on the Digital Outputs, the Master
Outputs, and the Phones Output simultaneously.
