Introducing the VM200

VM200 User’s Guide
Mixer Configuration
The VM200 is equipped with a total of 20 analog and digital inputs:
eight analog mono input channels (1-8), four internal effects
returns, and an eight-channel ADAT digital input. A two-channel
S/P DIF digital input signal can be routed to any of 20 channels,
and a two-track analog input (2TRK IN) is also provided.
External effects signals can be returned to the VM200 via four
INSERT phone jacks.
Input channels 1 through 8 feature trim control attenuators and TRS
phone jack connectors. Input channels 1 through 4 can also be
switched to +48V phantom-powered balanced XLR-type connectors.
Two effects busses send signals to the two on-board effects proces-
sors. An Effects Library contains 50 high-quality preset effects pro-
grams. The effects can be modified and stored in the Effects Library
for future recall. The VM200 returns the effects signals via channels
17-20.
The VM200 features 18 outputs.
A stereo buss outputs the stereo buss signal; a record buss outputs
the record buss signal.
There are two fixed AUX Sends, and two more can be added through
the use of an ADD AUX function (although the record buss is unavail-
able when the ADD AUX parameter is on).
Digital outputs include a 20-bit digital two-channel output (S/P DIF
OUT), a 20-bit digital ADAT eight-channel output (ADAT OUT).
Monitor and headphone outputs facilitate stereo monitoring via
speakers or headphones.
A four-band parametric equalizer is available for each input channel.
EQ programs can be stored in and recalled from an on-board EQ
Library.
You can cascade multiple VM200s together to increase the number of
input channels.
Why a
Digital
Mixer?
One of the best things about a
digital
audio mixer is that it is able to
combine audio signals from various sources without introducing vir-
tually any signal degradation, distortion, crosstalk, or noise.
Digital recording to tape or hard disk-based systems is increasingly
popular. However, many of these small studios use 4-, 8-, or 16-chan-
nel
analog
mixers.
The VM200 Digital Recording Mixer enables you to keep your audio
signals in the digital domain for both mixing
and
recording, resulting
in new levels clarity and quality in your recordings.
