Once the SmartCard has been removed, the LED of the preset loaded last will blink again to indicate
a new access to the internal preset. At this time, the preset loaded last by the SmartCard will be
active. Press one of the three buttons to load an internal preset.
Note: Use the
VIP
con
configuration software
to configure VIP
digital
for an alternative option of
SmartCard reading: Then a SmartCard preset will be activated as soon as the Card in inserted.
As another option SmartCard reading may be disabled.
3.5 The Enter button
The green
Enter
button
switches the unit temporarily to the
Enter mode
. Here, different global system
options of your VIP
digital
which are independent of the preset loaded may be set. Among others, this
includes the upper
level indicator
, an assignment of the three presets which can be loaded
immediately on the front panel as well as the display contrast.
Keeping the
Enter
button pressed causes VIP
digital
to show the
Enter mode
by a fast blinking of the
LED above the key. If no other entries are made, the mode will be terminated after some seconds and
VIP
digital
will again be in the normal operating mode. Refer to the chapter Unit Description for more
details, reading the topic
The Enter Mode
.
3.6 First audio connections
If you not only wish to view, but also wish to listen for a short test how the presets are functioning, you
may apply an analog signal with line level (CD player, mixer output etc., preferably speech) to
Analog
Input 1
.
In first line, VIP
digital
is a processor for microphone signals. However, the internal presets have been
configured with a gain of 0 dB in the delivery state for reasons of safety to avoid feedback and
unintentional loud levels during the first setup. In addition, the phantom power is deactivated in the
default presets.
Of course, you may adapt the gain to your individual needs later at any time, using the
VIP
remote
Windows software.
The following is the recommended procedure for a short test setup:
1) Connect the analog line source to the XLR
Analog Input 1
on the back panel of the unit.
2) Connect
the
Analog Left Out/Right Out
analog outputs to the line inputs of a mixer or a
monitor unit.
3) Alternately press the
Preset Recall
buttons1, 2 and 3 and note the differences in sound.
Note that the audio level of your test signal is relevant. The settings of some audio modules e.g.
compressor and expander are related to the input level. You can check the input level tendency on the
upper LED-segment level indicator on the frontpanel of the unit.
