PRO MIXER VMX300

+We strongly recommend the use of high-grade cables and connectors for the transmission of audio signals. Inferior quality materials cannot supply acceptable audio quality or corrosion protection.

27The PHONES OUT socket allows you to connect your headphones for pre-listening (PFL signal). For best results, use headphones with an impedance rating of at least 32 Ohms.

With the exception of MIC INPUT and HEADPHONES, all of the VMX300’s audio connections are located on the rear panel and supplied as RCA connectors.

28The PHONO inputs for all three channels are primarily intended for turntable connection (see PHONO/ LINE switch below).

29The LINE inputs may be used for connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.

30The GND connection allows grounding of a turntable.

31The PHONO/LINE switch on channel 1 allows you to select either the PHONO or LINE inputs. Be sure to set the MIC/PHONO-LINE switch on the front panel to the PHONO-LINE position.

The PHONO/LINE switches on channels 2 and 3 allow 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.

The VMX300 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.

34The 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 VMX300’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 ).
