Connections
Unbalanced Output
The VMIX includes an unbalanced output for connection to an auxiliary
or high-impedance input using an RCA connector. Output level is 0 dBµ
when meter reads “0”. Maximum output is +20 dBµ.
Balanced Output
Three terminals are provided for the transformer balanced output of the
Power Vector mixer.
Note: The output signal level is selectable for +4 dBµ, -
1
0 dBµ, or -50 dBµ
(see Page 9).
Remote Volume Control
Three terminals are provided for remote control of the Master Volume
control on the front panel. This control is motorized, allowing full con-
trol over the setting of the master volume. Shorting the UP terminal
with the C terminal will rotate the Master Volume control in a clockwise
direction, increasing the volume level. Shorting the DN terminal to the
C terminal will cause the Master Volume control to rotate in a counter-
clockwise direction and decrease the level of the Master Volume control.
The impedance of the shorting connections must be less than
1
00 ohms
in order to operate the control. The Bogen Remote Volume Control
Panel (Model RVCP) provides a simple and elegant means of remote
control. Alternatively, a SPDT spring-loaded, center off switch or two
SPST push-button switches can provide the necessary contacts for
remote control.
Bridging
This connector makes the Power Vector’s mix bus available externally
and allows the connecting of Power Vector products for system expansion
and simple room combining.
This function is bi-directional. Any signal received will be amplified and
any signal sent can be used by another Power Vector product. The signal
levels at the bridging jack will drop by one-half with two Power Vectors
tied together and by two-thirds with three units tied together. Because
of the attenuation of the bridging signal, due to the signal loading of
other Power Vectors, it is not recommended that more than three units
be connected together. See
Mute Control
section and the illustration on
next page for additional information.
