Connections to the Analog Jacks

Connecting a Mic

The VS-700R provides a balanced (XLR) type connector that is wired as shown in the illustration. Check the wiring of your device before connecting it.

VS-700R Rear Panel

The eight audio inputs(INPUT 1–8) contain phantom power supplies. From SONAR’s

“Tools” menu, open “VS-700” and select the “MIC PRE” tab, and click	[+48] button to
make settings. When the system is powered up, the phantom power will be turned off.

When you loada project in SONAR, the state that is saved in the project will be reflected.

When usinga condenser mic that requires a balanced (XLR) connection that

supplies phantom power, set [+48] button ON (PHANTOM ON).

When using a dynamic mic etc. that has a phone plug, set [+48] button OFF (PHANTOM OFF).

You must leave the phantom power turned off unless you’ve connected a condenser mic that requires a phantom power supply. Supplying phantom power to a dynamic mic or audio playback device will cause malfunctions. For details on the specifications of your mic, refer to the owner’s manual for your mic.

If you want to connect equipment such as a synthesizer or effects processor, use audio cables to connect the output connectors of such devices to the VS-700R’s INPUT jacks (1, 2).

Connecting a Guitar or Bass

If you want to connect a guitar or bass directly, connect it to the AUX IN jack located on the front panel of the VS-700C console.

For a guitar or bass, select the “Hi-Z” setting.

When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (INPUT 1–8 jacks, AUX IN Jack) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
