Level Indicator
The signal level indicator of the VSR 5 con-
sists of 21 LEDs including a "Clip" LED.
The level is indicated in steps of 3 dB. The
range from -48 to -15 dB is shown in green,
the range from -12 to -3 dB in yellow, and
the LEDs for 0 to +9 dB are red, as is the
"Clip" LED.
A full-wave DIN PPM peak detector drives
the display with an attack time of <10 ms
and a decay time of 0.5 seconds per 20 dB.

Note:
During production, the reference level of the
0 dB LED is set to +6 dBu.
"Clip" Indicator
The red "Clip" LED has a fixed reference
voltage. It begins to blink at levels above ca.
+20 dBu, thus giving a warning before there
is any possible overload.
Outputs
The SCHOEPS VSR 5 is equipped with two
separate electronically balanced XLR outputs
per channel.
The gold-plated XLR output sockets are on
the rear panel of the unit. In accordance
with international standards, the layout is:
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = (+) Phase
Pin 3 = (–) Phase
Note: The VSR 5 has floating, servo-balanced
outputs. Thus if either pin 2 or 3 is grounded,
the output levels will remain the same as in
balanced operation.
Do not connect the plug connector's
housing to pin 1.

In this case pin 3 must be connected

to pin 1 (ground), since pins 2 and 3 of
the output from the VSR 5 are floating.
