About sampling frequency

The VR800 uses a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz. When you record or play back on a VR800 connected to a digital mixing console, set the sampling frequency of the digital mixer to 44.1kHz. Using a different sampling frequency on the mixer will prevent normal recording and playback.
