Roland VS-1824 owner manual Front Panel

12. DIGITAL Connectors (IN, OUT)

The VS-1824 accepts both coaxial and optical digital I/O connectors (conforming to S/P DIF).

IN: This accepts a stereo digital audio signal. You can select either the coaxial input connection or the optical connection.

OUT: This outputs a stereo digital audio signal. You can use both the coaxial connector and the optical connector simultaneously, and each can carry a different signal.

15. 1/4” INPUT Jacks (3-8)

Inputs 3 through 8 may be used as 1/4” phone-type TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) balanced connections, or as 1/4” phone-type unbalanced connections, depending on the jack and cable used. Use INPUT knobs 3-8 to adjust the input sensitivity of these inputs.

16. XLR Balanced Inputs

Inputs 1 and 2 are XLR balanced connections. Use INPUT knobs 1 and 2 to adjust the input sensitivity of these inputs.

S/P DIF (Appendices p. 13)

*Before recording a digital audio signal, certain system settings must be made. To input a digital signal, refer to “Recording a Digital Source,” p. 66

*The digital connectors cannot input or output analog audio signals.

13. PHANTOM Switch

This turns phantom power (+48 V) on and off. With the factory settings, this is set to “Off.”

Phantom Power (Appendices p. 13)

*Supplying phantom power to dynamic microphones or audio playback devices may result in damage to your equipment. Thoroughly read the owner’s manual of your microphone, and make sure that the phantom power switch is set to “Off” unless you are using a condenser mic that requires phantom power.

*Switching the phantom power on or off while the VS-1824 is turned on produces a loud noise that can damage amps and speakers. Turn the phantom power on or off only when the VS-1824 is turned off.

*When nothing is plugged into the INPUT 1–2 jacks, make sure that the phantom power switch is set to “Off.” Also, we recommend that the INPUT knob be turned fully to “LINE” to capture as high a sound quality as possible.

14. GUITAR (Hi-Z) Jack (Guitar)

This 1/4” phone-type high-impedance jack is designed to work best with a guitar, for less interference and a louder, cleaner signal. It can be used instead of—but not at the same time as—the regular INPUT 8 jack. If cables are connected to both the GUITAR input and the regular INPUT 8 jack, the GUITAR jack will take priority. Use the INPUT 8 knob to adjust the input sensitivity of this input.
