3.2.6
Audio
Input
One
3.5mm
stereo
(-­‐10dBV)
mini-­‐jack
audio
input
is
provided
on
the
rear
panel.
It
provides
a
16-­‐bit,
44.1kHz
stereo
digital
signal,
which
can
be
processed
by
plugin
effects.
The
input
level
gain
can
be
adjusted
in
the
Global
System
Settings
(see
section
3.7.1).
Note
that
this
setting
boosts
or
cuts
the
amplitude
of
the
audio
signal
after
it
has
been
digitized
by
the
V-­‐
Machine’s
analog-­‐to-­‐digital
converter.
The
input
gain
is
not
an
analog
pad,
so
if
you’re
experiencing
digital
clipping
at
the
input
of
the
V-­‐Machine,
you’ll
need
to
attenuate
(reduce
the
level
of)
the
signal
at
an
earlier
stage,
before
it
reaches
the
V-­‐Machine.
Quick
Tips:
1. If
you’re
planning
to
connect
a
mono
input
source
for
processing,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
activate
only
the
left
input
channel
in
your
Preset
configuration.
(This
corresponds
to
the
signal
at
the
tip
of
a
tip-­‐ring-­‐sleeve
plug.)
This
ensures
the
processor
is
not
using
up
CPU
cycles
processing
non-­‐existent
data.
2. A
meter
showing
the
level
of
the
audio
input
signal
can
be
seen
on
the
right
side
of
the
LCD
during
operation.
3.2.7
Audio
Outputs
Two
6.5mm
(1/4")
TS
analog
(-­‐10dBV)
output
connectors
are
provided
on
the
rear
panel.
These
connectors
deliver
the
V-­‐Machine’s
stereo
analog
audio
signal.
Before
being
converted
to
analog,
this
signal
is
at
16-­‐bit,
44.1kHz.
The
left
and
right
outputs
are
marked
for
identification.
When
the
mono
output
option
is
activated
in
the
Global
System
Settings,
all
audio
output
signals
are
summed
to
both
the
left
and
right
outputs.
The
level
of
the
audio
output
signal
is
displayed
by
a
meter
on
the
right
side
of
the
LCD.
3.2.8
Headphone
Amplifier
Output
The
V-­‐Machine
includes
a
quality
headphone
amplifier
for
monitoring
the
stereo
audio
output
signal.
A
standard
3.5mm
TRS
stereo
output
connector
is
provided
on
the
rear
panel
for
connecting
a
pair
of
headphones.
The
headphone
output
is
designed
only
to
drive
headphones.
Never
connect
the
headphone
output
to
other
peripherals
such
as
a
mixing
desk,
as
damage
may
result
to
the
peripheral
or
V-­‐
Machine.
3.2.9
Headphone
Rotary
Volume
Control
The
volume
of
the
V-­‐Machine’s
built-­‐in
headphone
amplifier
can
be
adjusted
by
rotating
the
volume
knob
to
your
preferred
monitoring
level.
The
headphone
volume
is
at
maximum
when
the
knob
is
turned
fully
clockwise
(with
reference
to
a
person
facing
the
rear
panel).
Always
turn
down
the
headphone
amplifier
volume
before
connecting
and
listening
to
the
V-­‐
Machine
via
headphones.
Start
with
the
volume
control
at
minimum,
and
gradually
increase
the
level
to
an
acceptable
level.
Protect
your
precious
ears
at
all
times!
