Vx Input Module

The input module is the main method by which input signals are brought into the console. The Vx input module takes the new features introduced with the GTx console and adds a more flexible Aux send/assignment Section and extensive VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) functionality.

48V Phantom Power Switch

Applies 48 Volts DC to pins 2 & 3 of the microphone input XLR jack for microphones requiring phantom power. The XLR input is balanced and accepts high quality microphones, DI boxes and line sources.

LINE Switch

Switches between the balanced female XLR microphone Input connector and the balanced Line Input 1/4" TRS con- nector.

PAD Switch

Introduces a -15 dB attenuation to the mic input signal, useful when handling high-level signals.

GAIN Control

Adjusts input gain for proper signal level. Maximum gain is 70 dB.

Adjustable High Pass Filter w/LED

Reduces all low frequency content at a -12dB per octave rate adjustable from 20 to 400 Hz (-3dB point). Yellow LED illu- minates when switch is down.

Polarity Reverse Switch w/LED

Inverts the polarity of both the microphone and line inputs. The red LED illuminates when switch is down.

INSERT Switch w/LED

Activates the send-return insertion point. The send is always on. Audio from the return is switched into the channel when the switch is pressed.

Four-Band Sweep Equalizer Controls

There are two knobs for each of the four bands. The inner knob controls the boost or cut (15 dB); the outer knob con- trols the center frequency. Center frequencies are indicated around the outer knob.

PEAK/SHELVE HF Switch

Used for switching the high frequency EQ between the nor- mal shelving setting to a peak setting.

SWITCHABLE Q on HI MID and LO MID EQ

Q is switchable between .8 (switch up) and 1.8 (switch down).

PEAK/SHELVE LF Switch

Used for switching the low frequency EQ between the nor- mal shelving setting to a peak setting.

EQ IN Switch w/LED

Inserts the EQ section into the input channel (post insert, pre fader). An associated green LED illuminates when the switch is down.
