Input Channels

Input Channels 1–4

There are two sets of analog connectors for Input Channels 1 - 4. The “A” set accepts XLR-type inputs (balanced); the “B” set accepts phone jacks (balanced or unbalanced).

The XLR connectors are XLR-3-32-type inputs. The phone jacks are 1/4-inch TRS-type.

Both XLR and phone jack inputs accept a nominal input range of –60 dB to +10 dB.

Note: Before you set the INPUT A/B switch for input channels 1-4, lower the corresponding TRIM control to the minimum, or you will hear a clicking noise.

Note: Before you turn on phantom power, lower the TRIM control for the corresponding input channel to the minimum, or turn off the power to the VM200.

Note: Turn off the corresponding phantom power switch before you connect a dynamic microphone; otherwise, you may damage the microphone. If you turn on the power to the VM200 while the input channel’s phantom power switch is turned on, the VM200 displays a warning message: “Warning! +48V SW ON!”
