User manual RANE VP 12

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL VP 12 VOICE PROCESSOR QUICK START Even if you don't like to read manuals, read this part. Turn down (fully counterclockwise) the MIC INPUT GAIN and both MAIN and AUX OUTPUT LEVEL controls. Set the LOW CUT FILTER to 10 (fully CCW) and the HI CUT FILTER to 40k (fully CW). Depress all BYPASS switches on the front panel. [. . . ] When this control is in the center detent, this band of EQ is has no effect on the signal path. When this control is in grounded center detent, the band of the EQ is out of the circuit.

Since the VP 12 is powered from a remote AC supply which does not carry chassis ground through to the grounding pin of the AC line cord, this screw has been provided in case your system does not have another earth grounding means such as through rack rails, etc. Its use or disuse should be determined by your specific application. The VP 12 is supplied from the factory with a Model RS 1 Remote Power Supply suitable for connection to this input jack. The power requirements of the VP 12 call for an 18-24 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. Never use a power supply with your VP 12 other than the one supplied or an exact replacement obtained from or approved by Rane Corporation. Using any other type of supply may damage the unit and void the warranty. Two years parts and labor is worth safeguarding, don't you think?A three year warranty is available by completing and mailing in the warranty card, before something goes wrong. Sets the output level for the MAIN output, LINE or MIC level. Are fully balanced outputs, controlled by the front panel OUTPUT LEVEL. Pin 2 is positive, pin 3 is negative and pin 1 is chassis ground. When driving high impedance loads, both screw terminals and XLR jacks can be used at the same time. Deliver the same outputs as the XLR connectors above. Configured from the factory with all functions active, in the same order as the front panel. These terminals allow the disabling or re-arranging of functions. This also allows a function block, such as the EQ, to patch into and out of the VP 12 to an external processor or mixing channel. The factory jumper positions are illustrated below. 7 LINE/EXPAND IN screw terminals and ¼" TRS jack. Tip is positive, ring is negative and sleeve is chassis ground. [. . . ] The Compressor is familiar to anyone who has used Rane's darn cool DC 24 DYNAMIC CONTROLLER. While the GATE/EXPANDER controls those signals lower in level than your threshold setting, the COMPRESSOR controls those signals above your COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD setting. Once again, make sure that the BYPASS switch is out. Set the COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD control to 20 and the COMPRESSOR RATIO to about 1. 6:1. [. . . ]
