With the exception of MIC INPUT and HEADPHONES, all of the VMX200’s audio connections are located on the rear panel and supplied as RCA connectors.

26The PHONO inputs for channel 1 and 2 are primarily intended for turntable connection (see PHONO/ LINE switch below).

27The LINE inputs may be used for connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.28The GND connection allows grounding of a turntable.

29The PHONO/LINE switch allows you to set the input sensitivity of the PHONO inputs to line level, so that they can also be used for connection of tape decks, CD or MD players etc.

30The VMX200 is equipped with an effects loop for external effects devices. The SEND output sends the PFL signal to a connected device, e.g. a reverb unit.

31The resulting effect signal can be input to the MAIN OUT section via the RETURN input. The effect level must be adjusted on the external effects unit. The RETURN input can also be used as an extra input for connection of an additional signal source (e.g. sampler)—also in this case the level must be set on the external device.

+If an external effects unit is connected via the VMX200’s effect loop, the selected PFL signal is sent to the unit. If you change the PFL section setting, e.g. to pre-listen to another channel, that signal will be sent to the effects unit—the effect signal of a different track will be mixed to your MAIN OUT signal. Remember: the effects unit gets its signal from the PFL section (see ).

32Use the AMP output to connect the VMX200 to an amplifier. The level is controlled by the LEVEL control in the MAIN OUT section.

+In order to avoid power-up thumps, which can damage your loudspeakers, please power up your amplifier last. There should be no signal present, e.g. no music playing, when you turn on your amp. In addition, we suggest that you set all volume-related controls to “zero” (down) before powering up your system. Following these precautions will save you from unpleasant and potentially dangerous surprises.

33The TAPE output enables you to record your performance by connecting a tape deck, DAT recorder etc. Unlike the AMP output, the TAPE level is fixed, so that you have to adjust the input level on the recorder.

34The POWER ON switch turns on the PRO MIXER.
