PRO MIXER VMX1000USB User Manual 7 ENGLISH [43] You can connect an additional amplifier to the SUBWOOFEr output in order to drive a passive subwoofer. If you wish to use an active subwoofer, connect it directly to this output. Either way, you get more bass power out of your music. [44] Use the LEVEL control to adjust the volume of the SUBWOOfER output signal. [45] Use the X/O control to adjust the upper cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOfER signal (adjustable between 30 and 200 Hz). All frequencies with values below the cut-off frequency will be reproduced. [46] The MAIN 2 output allows you to connect an amplifier to drive monitor speakers or to provide sound in another room/area ("zone"). The VOL 2 control (see {17}) adjusts the MAIN OUT section. [47] Using the tAPE output, you can record your music by connecting equipment such as tape decks, DAT recorders etc. Unlike the MAIN outputs, the output volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the input level on the recording device. [48] 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. [49] 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 {27}). Connect this input to the outputs of your effects unit. [50] 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. [51] 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. ◊ To disconnect power from main, pull out the main cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack. [52] The VMX has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical to the TAPE OUT signal, which is the pre-fader MAIN signal. Audio being sent from a computer to the VMX can be selected with the Channel 1 INPUT button. Connect a USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from www.behringer.com.
