A. CONNECTORS
Your powered mixers uses several types of input and
output connectors.
1. XLR Input jacks
Electronically balanced inputs accept a standard XLR
male connector. Pin1=ground, pin2=hot or po)
and pin3=cold or negative (-) (see Figure 1).
These connectors should be utilized for low impedance
microphones. If you are using a high impedances
microphone, it will likely have a cord with a 1/4
＂
connector on it. In this case, it would be appropriate
to plug such microphones into a line input, however
performance, and gain may be lessened. for best
performance. We recommend you invest in one of the
many higher quality, law impedance mics available on
the market, or alternatively, purchase an impedance
matching transformer from your dealer.
2. 1/4
″
Phone Input Jacks
These tip / sleeve jacks accept an unbalanced line
level signal using a normal male phone plug.
(See Figure 1.)
3. Speaker Output Jacks
The speaker output jacks are 1/4
″
two conductor
jacks. Their power output and function are dependent
upon the particular unit that you are using.
4. RCA Phone Jacks
The RCA jacks accept unbalanced male pin
connectors.

B. SYSTEM HOOKUPS
Before you begin your connections, you must decide
how you will configure your sound system, mono or
stereo. Below are system variations that can be used
with your powered mixer. Carefully consider all of
them to decide which system you will use.
NOTE :
The VM Mixers feature flexible patching
options which make possible more variations of setup
than are presented here. Once familiarized with the
unit's capabilities, you should be able to achieve
practically any setup you desire.

Connecting monitoring speakers
You can connect one or two speakers to the SPEAKERS
MONITOR jacks. Speaker impedance varies with the number
of
speakers that are connected. Be sure to maintain speaker
impedance at the specified value or higher. Refer to the figure
below.
