VX CENTURY SERIES

Rear Connections

The rear connections facilitate the numerous inputs and outputs necessary for successful mixing. Since the console is of little use until it is wired into a whole system, an understanding of what each input and output does is necessary before it can be properly connected. Use the descriptions and diagrams on the next two pages to plan your cabling scheme.

Levels

Unless specified, nominal levels are:

O VU = +4dBu = 1.23V RMS

Max Level = +28 dBu balanced, +22dBu unbalanced

Impedances

Mic In - 4kΩ

Line In - greater than 10kΩ

Outputs -140Ω

Input Module Connections

Direct Out

This unbalanced 1/4" TRS jack delivers the direct output signal (post fader & post mute) from the associated

input channel.

Insert Send
This unbalanced 1/4" TRS jack is used for
sending a post-input preamp, post Hi Pass
Filter, pre-EQ signal to an outboard proces-	DIR OUT
sor. The signal at this jack is unbalanced and
always active regardless of the Insert Switch	INSERT SEND
setting.
Bal Insert Return
This balanced 1/4" TRS jack receives it’s	BAL INSERT RTN
signal from an outboard processor. It can
also be used to bring a signal into the chan-
nel, bypassing the input preamp and gain	BAL LINE IN
circuit. The return input is balanced and
must be enabled by depressing the channel
Insert switch.	BAL MIC IN
Bal Line In
This balanced 1/4" TRS jack accepts a bal-
anced or unbalanced line level input, and
delivers it to the input selector switch.
Mic In
This female XLR connector accepts bal-
anced microphone inputs for the associated
input channel.		X	INPUT

Stereo Input Module

Insert L / Insert R

These ‘combined send & return’ female TRS jacks are used to insert effects or signal process- ing into the Left and Right channels of the Stereo Input module. They can also be used to bring a signal into the channel, bypassing the input pre- amp and gain circuit. The return input is enabled by depressing the channel Insert switch.

Bal Line In L / Bal Line In R

These balanced 1/4" TRS jacks accept balanced or unbalanced line level inputs, and delivers them into the associated (Left or Right) selector switch.

Bal Mic In L / Bal Mic in R

These female XLR connectors accept balanced microphone inputs, and deliver them into the associated (Left or Right) selector switch.

Group Module

Group Bal Out

This male XLR jack carries the post-fader output signal from the associated group module.

Group Ins Send

This balanced 1/4" TRS jack allows for the group signal to be sent to an effect or signal processor.

Bal Ins Return

This balanced 1/4" TRS jack allows for the return of the effected and/or processed group sig- nal back into the associated group.

Bus In

This female XLR connector delivers the connect- ed signal directly to the associated group bus. (Useful for connection of expander mixers)

Matrix Out

This male XLR connector delivers a balanced signal from the associated matrix.

Matrix Ext In

This balanced female XLR connector is designed to accept an external signal that is inserted into the Matrix. This level is controlled by the Matrix Ext Level control.

Aux In A/B Left/Right

These female XLR jacks (on group modules 5-8) accept signals controlled by the Stereo Aux in sec- tion (L & R Master Modules).
