V-AMP PRO
3. EXAMPLES OF OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
Fig. 2.6: V-AMP PRO rear panel (section 2)
The
S/PDIF
output provides the digital output signal of your
V-AMP PRO.
The
AES/EBU
output (XLR connector) provides the digital
output signal of your V-AMP PRO in an AES/EBU format,
provided that AES/EBU has been selected as digital output
format (please refer to the 2nd note under
E).
The
WORDCLOCK
BNC jack is used to connect equipment
for the external synchronization of your V-AMP PRO. This
high-impedance jack has no internal terminating resistor
(75 Ohms).
This is the
MIDI OUT/THRU
jack of your V-AMP PRO. It is
configured as MIDI OUT but can be set to act as a MIDI
THRU jack (see
A).
Use the
MIDI IN
to connect a foot controller, for example,
the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010.

. Please take the time to fill in and return
the warranty card within 14 days after the date of purchase,
so as to benefit from our extended warranty. Or register

FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR
. Before
connecting the unit to the mains, make sure that the voltage
setting matches your local voltage. A blown fuse should
only be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On
some units, the fuse holder can be switched to one of two
positions, i.e. 230 V and 115 V. When operating the unit
outside Europe at 115 V, a higher fuse rating is required
(see chapter 8 INSTALLATION).
The mains connection is on an
IEC
receptacle. An
appropriate power cord is included.
3. EXAMPLES OF OUTPUT
CONFIGURATIONS
To adapt the V-AMP PRO best to different studio and live
situations, you can select between five operating modes
(CONFIGURATION). Regardless of the settings on the unit itself,
these modes determine in which way the V-AMP PROs output
signal is taken. Basically, there are 3 studio and 2 live operating
modes (with additional EQ). This also allows for using the left
and right output signals differently at the same time. In operating
mode Live 2, it is necessary to distinguish between the balanced
XLR outputs (DI OUT) and the 1/4" jack outputs (UNBALANCED).
3.1 Selecting CONFIGURATION modes
Your V-AMP PRO left the factory set in Studio 1 (S1) mode.
To change modes, you have to switch to CONFIGURATION
mode. To do this, press buttons D and E simultaneously. Use the
arrow keys to switch from one mode to another. Press TUNER
to quit CONFIGURATION mode.
3.2 Standard set-up with MIDI foot controller
and (optional) recording system
Set up and wire your V-AMP PRO as shown in fig. 1 on the
enclosed sheet. Connect your headphones to the PHONES jack
if required. The MIDI foot controller enables you to select
programs, enable/disable the tuner and control the wah-wah
effect (see chapter 10).
+
For this application please select CONFIGURATION
mode S1!
+
To monitor the recorded signal please press button
!
3.3 Hard-disk recording studio
A widely used recording application is to make a dry recording
of the output signal while monitoring the signal with effects (see
fig. 2 on the enclosed sheet). The advantage here is that you
dont have to make a final decision on what effect to use during
mix-down. For this purpose, connect the left output of the
V-AMP PRO to the recording device, and use the right output
for monitoring (with effects).
If you have a MIDI foot controller, you can use it to control
preset, bank and amp model changes. It is also convenient for
switching the tuner on and off.
+
If you select CONFIGURATION mode S2 for this
application, the cabinet simulation is active both on
the left and right channels.
+
Please select CONFIGURATION mode S3 to use the
left output without cabinet simulation!
3.4 Live set-up in combination with a
full-range monitor system
When youre playing on stage, it is extremely important to
monitor your guitar sound properly. To this end, the
V-AMP PRO is ideally connected to a monitor system with
sufficient power to reproduce the V-AMP PROs sound potential
to the full (see fig. 3 on the separate sheet).
+
For this application, please select mode L1 under
CONFIGURATION. The additional 3-band EQ can be
set with the BASS, MID and TREBLE controls. As this
is a global EQ, it has no effect on the setting of
these three controls stored with a preset.
