Level display

Channel 1 to 4 will indicate the incoming signal level at the pre-fader position, i.e., it shows the level regardless of the INPUT Fader setting. Input channels 1 and 2 have a TRIM potentiometer (pot) to adjust the gain to cater for a small signal input such as a MIC. You can set the appropriate TRIM pot position by watching the level indicator.

Channels L and R will indicate the outgoing signal levels at the STEREO OUT L and R respectively. But, no level indication will be displayed because you have not yet raised the MASTER Fader at this stage.

VIEW display

This will show each input channel setting such as PAN, EQ, EFFECT SEND and EFFECT PRE/POST, which you can choose by pressing the VIEW key. The setting is also displayed on the VIEW Status Indicator. In the initial setting, PAN will be displayed in the middle of the bar- graph by two illuminated dots. See CHANNEL EDIT MODE (page 15).

VIEW status indicator

When the content to be shown in the VIEW display is selected with the VIEW key, the selected dot for PAN, LO EQ, HI EQ or EFF will be lit. For details, refer to "CHANNEL EDIT MODE" in later page (page 15).

If you want the VM04 to return to the factory default setting completely, follow the instructions in Item 2-3. RESET.

When the -10dBV nominal signal level is coming in, the channel 1 to 4 level meter will indicate -12dB. Also, when the -10dBV nominal signal level is going out, the channel L and R level meter will indicate -12dB on the scale.
