A Mains plug with fuse and voltage selector. Changing the fuse: The lid for the housing of both fuses can easily be opened by pressing both sides of the lid simultaneously. After changing the fuses, please make sure the lid is closed securely. To switch the voltage selector it is also necessary to open the fuse housing. You must now twist the plug to the desired voltage setting. The selected voltage can be seen from outside. Make sure to replace the fuses with the necessary value, as indicated on the back of the mixer. **MAINS PLUG MUST BE UNPLUGGED TO SELECT THE VOLTAGE** B LINE INPUT for channel 4 C LINE INPUT for channel 4 D LINE INPUT for channel 3 E LINE INPUT for channel 3 F LINE INPUT for channel 2 G LINE INPUT for channel 2 H LINE INPUT for channel 1 I LINE INPUT for channel 1 LINE inputs 1 and 2 are for connecting devices with an output of up to +20dBu (i.e. CD, MD, DAT, etc...) J PHONO INPUT for channel 4 K PHONO INPUT for channel 3 L PHONO INPUT for channel 2 M PHONO INPUT for channel 1 The PHONO inputs are for use with turntables with magnetic systems. They can perform best with levels form up to -20dBu. There is an integrated RIAA-filter for each phono input N AUX The auxiliary channel can be used for various applications such as: -Recording of individual or selection of various channels -Monitoring of an individual or various channels -Additional effect send for one or more channels (when using an “empty” channel) The volume can be set to 0dBu maximum and is controlled in each channel individually with the AUX (25) control knob. The signal for the auxiliary send is taken after the GAIN signal path, but before the EQ section (please also see the block diagram). O EFFECT SEND P EFFECT RETURN When using an external effects processor (such as the Stanton DJF1 professional DJ filter) you must connect the EFFECT SEND to the input of your processor and the EFFECT RETURN to the output of your effects unit. The input and output volumes can be at a maximum of 0dBu. The volume can be set and controlled via the settings of AUX SEND (47) and RETURN (48). The effect patch goes through the MASTER-channel; the DJ-MIC signal will not be affected (please also see the block diagram). The 1/4” Jacks for EFFECT SEND, EFFECT RETURN and AUX are set as follows: TIP: LEFT RING: RIGHT SHAFT: GROUND Q GROUND connection for turntable If the connected turntable has a separate GROUND cable, it must be connected with the screw Q to prevent ground humming. R Output attenuation selector for MASTER 1 S MASTER 1 LEFT T MASTER 2 RIGHT The main output MASTER 1 is equipped with balanced (symmetrical) XLR jacks. The value of this output can be selected either at +6 or 0dBu with the switch R. The value of the output signal can also be individually set with the MASTER (51) control. The XLR’s are set as follows: 1: GND 2: +SIGNAL 3: -SIGNAL 1 U BOOTH NOTE: To achieve the optimum sound performance and The output value of the BOOTH is set at 0dBu. It can be lowest signal-to-noise ratio it is essential in the digital out- adjusted via the control knob BOOTH (49) put section to set the output impedance of the mixer to the highest possible level (control 52) and if necessary to lower NOTE : BOOTH output is not affected by any balance/pan the volume of the digital equipment connected to the setting (50). VRM10 receiving signal. MASTER 2 The output MASTER 2 is identical to MASTER 1. It has an output impedance of +6dBu, which can be adjusted by the MASTER 2 control. W DIGITAL OUTPUT The digital output of the VRM10 is equipped in the S/P DIF standard. The signal path is switched parallel with MASTER 2 and can be controlled via the MASTER 2 (52) knob. The main outputs of the VRM10 (MASTER 1+ 2 and BOOTH) are equipped with a special patented circuitry to prevent crackling noise in the signal while switching the unit on or/and off. In any case you should make sure, that the mixer is switched on before the rest of your equipment, i.e. especially amplification e.g. This will pre- vent possible damage to you speakers and PA system. When turning off your equipment, you should proceed the opposite way; this means: first turn off the amplifica- tion, then the VRM10 mixer.
