Connecting Headphones or Speakers

The VP-7 does not contain speakers. In order to hear sound, you’ll need to connect it to an audio device, such as monitor speakers 

or a stereo system, or connect headphones.

NOTE

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power 

on all devices before making any connections.

Connecting monitor speakers 

or a stereo system

Use cables to connect the VP-7’s rear panel 

OUTPUT  jacks  to  your  monitor  speaker  or

7’s  capabilities,  we  recommend  that  you 

use it in stereo .

To use it in mono, connect to the OUTPUT 

L/MONO jack .
