V-AMPIRE LX1200H/LX210

3.OPERATING MODES AND APPLICATIONS

One outstanding V-AMPIRE feature is that you can choose which parts of the signal you want to route to the outputs. To adapt your device perfectly to the various studio and live applications you can choose between 5 different operating modes (CONFIGURATIONS). Independent of the settings stored in the presets, these operating modes determine where the signal for the line outs and headphones comes from so that both left and right output signal can be used for different purposes.

Because the choice of the most suitable operating mode depends on where you use it, we have described some typical applications.

+With the headphone plugged, the device auto- matically switches into S1 operating mode.

Table 3.1: Operating modes (CONFIGURATIONS)

The settings of the configurations are made in the configuration menu by simultaneously pressing the buttons D and E. The display shows the current configuration. Use the arrow buttons to select another configuration. Please refer to table 3.1 for information on the corresponding output signals.

+By pressing the TAP button and adjusting the GAIN control you can additionally adapt the input amplification to particularly loud pick ups.

In the configuration menu you can adapt the input gain to different pick up types. To do this, keep the TAP button pressed and the surrounding GAIN control LEDs show the current setting. Turning the GAIN control from its center position to the left you will reduce the input amplification which probably is recommendable with very loud pick up types. GAIN settings in clockwise direction are only recommended with very weak pick up types.

Quit the configuration menu by pressing TUNER/EXIT.

3.2 Live on stage or in a rehearsal room

3.2.1 LX1200H

Figure 3.1 shows a single 4 Ω speaker cabinet connected to the left speaker output (mono) to deliver the full 120 Watts.

Fig. 3.1: Mono operation at 4 Ω impedance

Figure 3.2 shows a stereo cabinet (e.g. the BG412V from our ULTRASTACK series) connected to the left and right speaker outputs. The cabinet is then powered by 2 x 60 Watts at 2 x 8 Ω impedance to get the most from the V-AMPIRE’s stereo effects.

Fig. 3.2: Stereo operation at 2 x 8 Ω impedance

Our favourite operating mode for live applications is Live 2 (L2), i.e., a mono signal (1 x 4 Ω) or a stereo signal (2 x 8 Ω), with all effects, amp simulation and live EQ but no speaker simulation. The XLR output has analog ULTRA-G speaker simulation that can be connected to a sound reinforcement system. Here, the MASTER control only influences the stage volume but not the XLR output level.

If you want to listen to a digital speaker simulation using an amplifier, select L1.
