PRO MIXER VMX1000
Your PRO MIXER features an effects loop that can be used
for an external effects unit or a sampler. The signal is
taken at the PFL section through the SEND connector and
fed into your external equipment. The signal laid out at the
SEND connector is therefore identical to the headphone
signal. Connect this output to the input of your effects unit.
The signal that was processed externally is mixed into the
MAIN OUT signal using the RETURN channel. Use the RET
control to adjust the volume of the effects signal (see
Connect this input to the outputs of your effects unit.
This is the connector for the power cable. This is where
the advantage of a sophisticated internal power supply
can be seen: the pulse behaviour of each amplifying circuit
is mainly determined by the voltage reserves available.
Each mixing console is equipped with numerous
operational amplifiers (op amps) to process line level
signals. Due to limited output of their power supplies,
many mixing consoles show signs of “stress” when
subjected to heavy loads. But not your PRO MIXER: the
sound is always clear and transparent.
FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SETTING. Before connecting
the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting
matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be
replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On some
units, the fuses holder can be switched to one of two
positions, i.e. 230 V and 120 V. Please note: should you
desire to operate the unit outside Europe at 120 V, a
higher fuse rating is required.
