5 ACOUSTIC SPACE CONTROL SWITCH (HF Control)
For HF control, you can choose two different modes.
1) For ~ 8 kHz
8 kHz controller is set up at 2 ~ 3 meter of hearing position from factory.
And optimum hearing position can be adjustable for longer or shorter distance.
ex) ~2 m distance increase, +1.5dB switch on
~0.5 m distance decrease, -1.5dB switch on
2) For ~3 kHz
This controls HF gain, so it is useful for sound checking in studio.
For impact and heavy sound in music and movie, +1.5 dB switch on.
For soft and mild sound, -1.5 dB switch on.
Your optimums sound can be made by using these two HF controllers together.
6 ACOUSTIC SPACE CONTROL SWITCH (LF Control)
LF control is useful to set VL-X5 for its maximum performance regardless of conditions of room and sound
check. 150 Hz/800 Hz are adjustable by +1.5 dB or -1.5 dB step and for under 500 Hz, there is -12 dB roll off
function per octave.
1) 150 Hz control
VL-X5's set up position is 60 cm (Recommendation 100 cm) to the back and 40 cm (Recommendation 60
cm) to the side. However, if it has to be set up below the recommended set up distance due to important
reason, -1.5 dB switch on to decrease the reflecting sound and LF can be volume up by +1.5 dB switching
on in the venue which has high absorbability of sound.
2) 800 Hz control
This can be apply just like 150 Hz controller and your optimum sound of mid and low frequency range can
be made by using 150 Hz and 800 Hz controller
3) LF CUTTT 500Hz
This function is useful when only LF is boost up and can be use to check only over mid range sound.
7 POWER RECEPTACLE
For plugging in detachable 3-circuit line cord.
8 EXT.FUSE HOLDER
For external main fuse.
9 POWER SWITCH
When you push the power switch to 'I', the VL-X5 will be turned on. When you push the switch to 'O', the
VL-X5 will be turned off.
CAUTION
Control switch is sensitive. Therefore be careful not to damage.
