R-BUS Connectors

The VS-2480’s two R-BUS connectors each provide eight input and eight output
channels of digital audio. (During routing we refer to each channel as a “connector.”)
You can send signals out of the VS-2480 digitally to any R-BUS device.

Output Signal Routing

You can route bus signals or track signals to the VS-2480’s analog and digital outputs.
We’ll discuss these two topics separately.

Bus Routing

The VS-2480’s output jacks and connectors can transmit MASTER, MONITOR, Aux
and Direct bus signals from the VS-2480’s outputs to external devices. With the
exception of the MASTER and MONITOR analog outputs, you can route any pair of
busses—or a stereo bus—to any pair of output jacks or connectors.
• The MASTER analog jacks always carry the stereo MASTER bus signal.
• The MONITOR analog jacks always carry the stereo MONITOR bus signals—you
can, however, send the signals from any pair of busses into the stereo MONITOR
bus feeding the MONITOR jacks.

Routing a Pair of Busses to a Pair of Outputs

1. Press EZ ROUTING.
2. If “OUTPUT” isn’t above F3, press PAGE repeatedly until it is.
3. Press F3 (OUTPUT)—the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen appears.
You can find setup instructions for R-BUS devices in the “Supplemental Information”
chapter at the back of the

VS-2480 Owner’s Manual.

With a Roland DIF-AT interface, you can digitally send individual VS-2480 track signals
to tracks on an ADAT™ or Tascam® T-DIF™ recorder.
You can route busses or tracks directly to outputs, but not both simultaneously, with the
exception of the MONITOR bus, which can always be sent to outputs.
Though busses are routed to outputs in pairs, you can send completely different signals
on each bus pair’s odd/even busses. If you’re using Aux busses, the busses can be
linked in stereo (Page 206) or not, as desired.
In this illustration, we’ve
selected the Aux A analog
jacks.
Aux Busses 1 and 2 are
routed to the Aux A jacks,
as shown by the thick
black connection line.
Each bus runs from left to right
across the display. When you
select an output and turn the
TIME/VALUE dial, a connection
box moves down the screen to
reach the desired bus.
