Selecting the monitor signal
For monitor signals from MON OUT L, R and PHONES jack, any one of the stereo buss L, R signal, AUX
buss 1 signal or AUX buss 2 signal can be output and selected by the MON SEL switch depending on
the application as shown in the schematic below.
< Caution at monitoring with headphones! >
Because the PHONES output is designed for high sensitivity, there is ample gain available through the
PHONE GAIN knob even when it is only raised a small amount. Therefore, when monitoring the various buss
signals or input signals from external equipment connected to the MON IN connector, gradually raise the
PHONES GAIN knob from its MIN position so as not to raise the gain to an unnecessarily high level. Otherwise,
a loud noise could injure your ears.
< Please remember! >
Regardless to the MON SEL switch setting, the input signal from MON IN L, R can be monitored by adjusting
the GAIN knob of MON IN.
<Useful information !>
In the normal mix mode, if the position of the INPUT fader/MASTER fader before switching off power
is different from when power is switched on (refer to schematic below), the FADER ADJUST and LEVEL
ADJUST key LED's (red) will flash. This is because the fader setting before switching off power is in
memory, and the VM88 is indicating that fader and level adjustment is possible.
The fader position can be reset to the position prior to switching off power, and the level position can
be deliberately set to the present sound volume setting.
* To return to the setting before switching off power:
Press the flashing FADER ADJUST key (It will enter the fader adjust mode). Subsequently, adjust each
fader position by referring to [Fader adjust mode] explanation.
* To set to the present fader position:
Press the flashing LEVEL ADJUST key and the VM88 will enter the level adjust mode.
Then setup by following [Level adjust mode] on page 31.
If it is not necessary to match the fader positions, the FADER ADJUST key flashing will extinguished after all
faders are moved and the VM88 will return to the normal mix mode.
