Any of the eight Aux Busses of the VS-2480 can be used to create a montior speaker or headphone mix. The following example will guide through creating a mono mix using Aux Bus 7.
PATCHING
- Connect an audio cable from L-AUX-A to the input of your speaker amplifier or headphone amplifier.
- Press EZ ROUTING.
- Press F3(OUTPUT).
- Use the CURSOR Arrows to highlight "AUX A."
- Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial to make a "virtual" connection from the AUX 7/8 bus to output AUX A.
- Press the IN 17-24 / AUX SEND button above the red master fader.
- Raise AUX 7 fader to 0dB.
Now, any channel that is sent to Aux 7 will output audio to the L-AUX-A jack and will be heard through the connected monitor speaker or headphone amplifier.
CREATING A MONITOR OR HEADPHONE MIX
Let's start sending audio to the monitor speaker or headphone amplifier from instruments that are currently connected or recorded tracks.
- Press the IN 1-16 button or the IN 17-24/AUX SND button to assign the faders as inputs faders--to send instruments or microphones currently connected to the monitor speaker or headphones.
Press the TR-1-16 button or the TR 17-24 button to assign the faders as track faders--to send pre recorded tracks to the monitor speaker or headphones.
- As an example, we'll send Channel 1 to the monitor speaker or headphones.
Press the CH EDIT located above Channel 1.
- Use the CURSOR arrows to select AUX 7 and then turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select "Pre".
- CURSOR to the send knob of AUX 7 and turn the TIME/VALUE dial to a desired level. This will now send directly to the connected monitor speaker or headphone amp.
- Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any additional input or track channels.
