Q: Why does the Vt-747sp have a six-band
graphic EQ?
A: The Vt-747sp’s graphic EQ is designed to
be very simple to operate and musical. It is
intended to enhance the program material for
sonic retouching and eliminates the need to
patch and addtional EQ if only minor
adjustments are required.
Q: What are the advantages of using the
Vt-747sp with my digital recording sys-
tem?
A. The Vt-747sp breaths life into digital
recordings. It will add air to the top, enhance
the space in the lower mid range and solidify
the bottom end. This process is very effective
if used with high quality A-D and D-A convert-
ers. Even if your converters are not of the
highest quality it will still enhance your record-
ings.
Q: Will the Vt-747sp help to warm up the
signal going to a digital recorder?
A: Yes. The Vt-747sp will give the signal a
richer warmer sound. The bottom end will open
up and your recorded music will sound bigger.
It works wonderfully for synths, drum
machines, and keyboards that would
otherwise sound thin and lifeless.
Q: Can I use the SIDE CHAIN LISTEN func-
tion as a parametric EQ?
A: Yes. Press in the SIDE CHAIN LISTEN
button and use the Threshold controls as
cut/boost and the two frequency selectors to
select the frequencies of interest. Note that
the Threshold controls will act in the opposite
direction. (ie. clockwise will cut and counter
clockwise will boost selected frequency.)
Q: What is the difference between the
Vt-737sp and the Vt-747sp?
A: The Vt-737sp is a mono Mic, Line, and
Instrument level preamplifier with compressor
and parametric equalizer. It is great for
recording one channel at a time and for
mixdown on the most important channel.
The Vt-747sp is a dedicated stereo line level
compressor and graphic equalizer. It has no
microphone preamplifier. The Vt-747sp is
great for stereo keyboards, synthesizers, drum
machines, stereo submix or mix buss
applications and mastering.
