9:DC input - This jack will accept a DC input voltage of 11 - 14 volts (inner connection [tip] positive, outer connection [sleeve] ground) from your video camera, if available. Connect the optional Samson AC300R adapter here to charge a rechargeable 9-volt Ni-Cad battery.

10:Unbalanced output - Use this unbalanced 1/8" (3.5 mm) mini-phone jack to connect the VM1 to your audio equipment. Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve ground. If your video camera has stereo audio inputs, you’ll need to use a Y-adapter that has a 1/8"

(3.5 mm) mini-phone plug at one end and dual male RCA-type plugs at the other end.

11:Audio Output Level switch - Sets the audio output level of the unbalanced output (see #10 above) to -30 dBv (mic level), -20 dBv, or -10 dBv (line level). See the “Setting Up and Using the VM1 System” section on page 8 in this manual for more information.

12:Level control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being sent to the headphones output (see #13 below).

signal can be set by adjusting the Level control (see #12 above). Maximum output is 200 mW @ 30 ohms.

14:Meter switch - This three-position switch determines the function of the front-panel VM1 meter (see page #2 on previous page). In the left “BATTERY” position, the meter indicates relative battery power, showing whether the installed battery is at low (red), mid (yellow) or high (green) strength. When all three LEDs are lit, the battery is at maximum strength. When only the red “low” indicator lights, performance is degraded and the battery needs to be replaced. In the center “RF” position, the meter indicates the strength of the incoming RF signal. In the right “OFF” position, the meter is disabled altogether, thus

conserving battery power.
