CROSSfADER 2.7 section

The [28] VcA cONtrOLLED crOSSFADEr is used to cross fade

between the selected channels (see

{ 30 }). The crossfader

used in the VMX1000USB is a professional 45-mm fader.

Use the

[29] cF cUrVE control to modify the control character

of the crossfader between linear and logarythmic in an

inﬁnite number of steps. When in linear characteristic

mode, the crossfader fades equally in each segment of

its movement range; in the logarythmic characteristic

mode, volume control is concentrated to the outer

segment of the fader’s range of motion.

Use the

[30] ASSIGN A and ASSIGN B rotary switches to

determine which input signals are routed to the A and

B sides of the CROSSFADER. With ASSIGN A, channels 1

through 4 can be selected; with ASSIGN B, channels 2

through 5. Then, you can alternate between these two

channels using the CROSSFADER (see

{ 28 }).

AUTO BPM COUNTER2.8

The integrated auto BPM counter is an extremely useful

feature. It ensures smooth transition from one track to the

next. It can calculate the tempos of various tracks in BPM

(beats per minute). Both BPM counter sections are identical

and both show the BPM value of the two stereo channels

routed to the crossfader.

The tempo of the track assigned by using the ASSIGN A or

ASSIGN B keys is shown in the respective DISPLAY

{ 31 }. Several

tempo changes in one track would produce a constant display

of various BPM values and thus lead to unnecessary confusion.

That’s why each beat counter section has a SYNc LOcK button

{ 32 } that can be used during the song to limit the range of

possible tempo values. This makes sense if the counter has

already calculated a realistic value. You can do the same

manually with the BEAt ASSISt button

{ 33 }. Push this button

at least three times in sync with the song’s tempo, and the

tempo you tapped appears in the DISPLAY. The BEAT ASSIST

and SYNC LOCK buttons are each equipped with a LED.

To exit SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST mode, simply press the

SYNC LOCK key in both channels once again.

When no signal is present (or when the signal level is

◊

too low), the BPM display shows only dashes. When the

signal is present but can not be identiﬁed, the display

shows 160 BPM and then shows the dashes. The

beat counter then attempts to get another readout.

Therefore, “160” BPM is no usable value; rather, it is

simply an error message when the signal can not

be analyzed.

Connections2.9

These are the [34] LINE and cD inputs respectively, used for

connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc. Unlike

other channels, channels 4 and 5 feature two line inputs.

The

[35] PHONO inputs for channels 1 through 3 are intended

for connecting turntables. Channels 1 through 3 can be

switched over to line level (see

{ 36 }).

Using the

[36] PHONO/LINE switches, you can change the

input sensitivity of the PHONO inputs on channels 1

through 3 to line level (switch pressed). This way, you

can even connect a tape deck or a CD player to the

PHONO inputs.

IMPORTANT: Always pay attention to the correct

◊

position of the PHONO/LINE switch when connecting a

line level signal to a phono input. The switch must be in

its pressed position (LINE)! Otherwise, overdriving may

lead to permanent damage to the phono input.

The

[37] GND connectors are used for grounding turntables.

The MIC AUX signal, adjustable using the AUX controls

[38]

on the microphone channels (see { 3 }), is laid out at this

SEND jack connector. For example, the input of an

external reverb can be connected here.

An external stereo eﬀects signal can be fed back into the

[39]

VMX1000USB using the rEtUrN L/r jack connectors. If

you connect a mono eﬀects signal, you need to use the

left RETURN L connector. The eﬀect volume can only be

adjusted on the output control of the eﬀects unit.

SErIAL NUMBEr

[40] . Please take the time to complete

and return the warranty card within 14 days of

the date of purchase. Or, simply register online at

www.behringer.com.

The balanced

[41] MAIN 1 XLR outputs are used for

connecting a power ampliﬁer. Use the VOL 1 control to

adjust the volume (see

{ 16 }).

Hitting the

[42] MONO key changes the stereo MAIN 1 output

signal into a mono signal. Doing this makes sense when

you for example use your PRO MIXER in large rooms

where the speakers are placed far from each other. A

stereo signal would have a disrupting eﬀect, since the

speakers each transmit a somewhat diﬀerent signal. If

you press MONO, an identical signal is transmitted to

both MAIN 1 outputs. The BAL 1 control (see

{ 18 }) has no

function here.

You can connect an additional ampliﬁer to the [43]

SUBWOOFEr output in order to drive a passive

subwoofer. If you wish to use an active subwoofer,

connect it directly to this output. Either way, you get

more bass power out of your music.

Use the

[44] LEVEL control to adjust the volume of the

SUBWOOFER output signal.

Use the

[45] X/O control to adjust the upper cut-oﬀ frequency

of the SUBWOOFER signal (adjustable between 30 and

200 Hz). All frequencies with values below the cut-oﬀ

frequency will be reproduced.

The

[46] MAIN 2 output allows you to connect an ampliﬁer to

drive monitor speakers or to provide sound in another

room/area (“zone”). The VOL 2 control (see

{ 17 }) adjusts the

MAIN OUT section.

Using the

[47] tAPE output, you can record your music by

connecting equipment such as tape decks, DAT recorders

etc. Unlike the MAIN outputs, the output volume is ﬁxed,

making it necessary for you to adjust the input level on

the recording device.

Your PRO MIXER features an eﬀects loop that can be

[48]

used for an external eﬀects unit or a sampler. The signal

is taken at the PFL section through the SEND connector

and fed into your external equipment. The signal laid

out at the SEND connector is therefore identical to the

headphone signal. Connect this output to the input of

your eﬀects unit.

The signal that was processed externally is mixed into the

[49]

MAIN OUT signal using the rEtUrN channel. Use the RET

control to adjust the volume of the eﬀects signal (see

{ 27 }).

Connect this input to the outputs of your eﬀects unit.

This is the connector for the power cable. This is where

[50]

the advantage of a sophisticated internal power supply

can be seen: the pulse behaviour of each amplifying

circuit is mainly determined by the voltage reserves

available. Each mixing console is equipped with

numerous operational ampliﬁers (op amps) to process

line level signals. Due to limited output of their power

supplies, many mixing consoles show signs of “stress”

when subjected to heavy loads. But not your PRO MIXER:

the sound is always clear and transparent.

FUSE HOLDEr / VOLtAGE SEttING

[51] . Before connecting

the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting

matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be

replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On some

units, the fuses holder can be switched to one of two

positions, i.e. 230 V and 120 V. Please note: should you

desire to operate the unit outside Europe at 120 V,

a higher fuse rating is required.

To disconnect power from main, pull out the main cord

◊

plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug

is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that

the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by

an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

The VMX has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo

[52]

signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer.

The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical

to the TAPE OUT signal, which is the pre-fader MAIN

signal. Audio being sent from a computer to the VMX can

be selected with the Channel 1 INPUT button.

Connect a USB type B plug into the USB jack on the

mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on

your computer. There are no required drivers, but

we recommend that PC users install the included

ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from

www.behringer.com.
