5.1 Getting to Know Your Switcher

Most front/rear panel features of the switchers described in this manual are very similar. Therefore, only the VS-

1211 and the VS-1201xl are described and they represent the rest of the switchers. The main difference is that

the “11” group has snap fit terminal block connectors for balanced audio and the “01xl” group has RCA

connectors for unbalanced audio.

Front/rear panel features of the VS-1211 and VS-1201xl/VS-1001xlm switchers are described in Figure 2, Table
