Those units that feature VU meters allow you to gain an extra insight into the signal being amplified. All Sebatron meters are driven by a discrete buffer stage, so that no load is placed on the audio signal being monitored.
Transformer Balanced XLR change the units input mains voltage from 110-120V to 220- The rear panel of the vmp Series preamps contains the balanced inputs Microphone 240V and outputs and the IEC mains connector. The input voltage range is switchable...
The DI Inputs are able to take up to a +20dBu line signal and the unit can be distorted on this setting, but that is not always a bad thing. be very useful for further processing during mixing and mastering. Try running stem mixes through a vmp for added punch and clarity.
Fat Bass Recommended Settings Control Setting Notes lots of gain and valve compression Low EQ deep back off if it’s too much We have included some basic settings to get you on track. All of the settings are very dependent on the signal source, including the transient and harmonic content. Basically, you should always listen carefully, don’t assume the obvious and be open Acoustic Guitar to the unexpected.
