Setup method for EQ setting

Individual setup of the low region (LO), mid region (MID) and high region (HI) for the signals of channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6, 7/8 and STEREO MASTER.

<Useful information!>

The equalizer specs of VM08 are, 100Hz +/- 18dB (shelving type) for LO-EQ, 1kHz +/- 18dB (peak- ing type) for MID-EQ, and 10kHz +/- 18dB (shelving type) for HI-EQ. Each can be adjusted in 1dB steps.

1.[LO], [MID] or [HI] dots in the status display section will light by successively pressing the PAN/EQ key.

The LCD display will show the following:

Example: Character display section when [LO] is made to light.

[1-LO: 0] will be displayed. In this condition, LO- EQ of channel 1 can be adjusted and is the indica- tion that the present LO-EQ setting is flat (0dB).

Blinking Lit

2.The channel you wish to adjust is selected by pressing the desired CH ON/CH SEL key.

The selected channel CH ON/CH SEL key will blink.

3.The number is set with the DATA encoder.

The number will change in the range of [-18dB] ~ [+18dB] and the equalized sound will also change. The graphic display will also change at the same time.

[+18] ~ [+1] ~ [0] ~ [-1] ~ [-18] will be displayed.

Digit will move up and down.

<Useful information!>

When channels 5/6 and 7/8 are selected, the two channels will be simultaneously equalized. If MASTER is selected, both L and R will be equal- ized at the same time.

Setup method of the EFFECT SEND level

In the following, the effects send level of the signal in the channel to which effects is to be applied is adjusted before sending it to the DSP multi-effects (EFF 1/EFF 2) contained in the VM08. It is also possible for the effect send signal to select either POST (post fader) or PRE (pre- fader). The VM08 is set to POST (post fader) in the initial state.

<Useful information!>

*The EFFECT SEND signal adjusted in channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6 and 7/8 is sent to the VM08 internal DSP multi-effects (EFF1 or EFF 2). The operating explanation used here is based on the effects type ([Norm. HALL] in EFF 1, [CHORUS] in EFF 2) which are preset in EFF 1/EFF 2. Twenty-eight preset effects for EFF 1 and 38 types for EFF 2 are provided in the VM08.

To select other effects or adjust effect parameters, refer to [Effect edit mode] on page 18.

*Because EFFECT SEND is set in the post fader (the signal controllable by the INPUT fader) in the initial state, in this explanation it is necessary for the INPUT fader to be raised on the channel in which the EFFECT SEND level is to be adjusted. In addition, the MASTER fader to adjust output level from ST OUT L, R is also raised. To setup of the EFFECT SEND PRE/POST, see page 17.
