[. . . ] The maximum amount of attenuation (-32 dB) is much higher than the maximum boost (+12 dB), allowing entire frequency spectrums to be removed from a track. The CHANNEL fader adjusts the final channel volume. + 3 4 2. 2 PFL section (Pre Fader Listening) The PFL signal is a pre-fader headphones signal, enabling you to pre-listen to a signal source without effecting the main signal. 5 6 7 8 The LEVEL control determines the volume of the headphones signal. The MIX control lets you fade between channels 1 and 2. The LEVEL METER displays the level of the signal selected via the MAIN/PFL button ( ). The MAIN/PFL button allows you to route either the main or PFL signal to the display. Remember: PFL is your pre-listening or headphone signal and MAIN is the signal assigned to the outputs of the VMX100. In PFL mode, the channel 1 signal is displayed on the left side of the LEVEL METER, and channel 2 on the right. + 2. 3 9 10 MIC/MAIN section The MAIN knob controls the overall output volume. The MIC LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the microphone signal. 2. 4 Beat counter The PRO MIXER VMX100s built-in beat counter is an extremely useful feature, allowing smooth crossfades between two tracksan important key to the success of your performance. The beat counter analyzes and displays the tempi of your tracks in BPM (Beats Per Minute). The beat counter sections of channel 1 and 2 are identical. The tempo of the track is shown in the respective channels DISPLAY ( ). In the case of multiple tempo changes, the display would change continuously, causing unnecessary confusion and rendering the function virtually useless. Flipping the CURVE switch may cause a sudden change in volume. We recommend not changing this setting while a signal is present. The MIC INPUT connector is a balanced ¼" TRS socket for microphone connection. We strongly recommend the use of high-grade cables and connectors for the transmission of audio signals. Inferior quality materials cannot supply acceptable audio quality or corrosion protection. The HEADPHONES socket allows you to connect your headphones for pre-listening (PFL signal). For best results, use headphones with an impedance rating of at least 32 Ohms. + 18 + 19 3. REAR PANEL With the exception of MIC INPUT and HEADPHONES, all of the VMX100s audio connections are located on the rear panel and supplied as RCA connectors.
