With the exception of MIC INPUT and HEADPHONES, all of the VMX200’s audio connections are located on
the rear panel and supplied as RCA connectors.

26 The PHONO inputs for channel 1 and 2 are primarily intended for turntable connection (see PHONO/
LINE switch below).
27 The LINE inputs may be used for connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.
28 The GND connection allows grounding of a turntable.
29 The PHONO/LINE switch allows you to set the input sensitivity of the PHONO inputs to line level, so
that they can also be used for connection of tape decks, CD or MD players etc.
30 The VMX200 is equipped with an effects loop for external effects devices. The SEND output sends the
PFL signal to a connected device, e.g. a reverb unit.
31 The resulting effect signal can be input to the MAIN OUT section via the RETURN input. The effect level
must be adjusted on the external effects unit. The RETURN input can also be used as an extra input for
connection of an additional signal source (e.g. sampler)—also in this case the level must be set on the
external device.

If an external effects unit is connected via the VMX200’s effect loop, the selected PFL signal is
sent to the unit. If you change the PFL section setting, e.g. to pre-listen to another channel,
that signal will be sent to the effects unit—the effect signal of a different track will be mixed to
your MAIN OUT signal. Remember: the effects unit gets its signal from the PFL section (see
).
32 Use the AMP output to connect the VMX200 to an amplifier. The level is controlled by the LEVEL control
in the MAIN OUT section.
+
In order to avoid power-up thumps, which can damage your loudspeakers, please power up
your amplifier last. There should be no signal present, e.g. no music playing, when you turn
on your amp. In addition, we suggest that you set all volume-related controls to “zero” (down)
before powering up your system. Following these precautions will save you from unpleasant
and potentially dangerous surprises.
33 The TAPE output enables you to record your performance by connecting a tape deck, DAT recorder etc.
Unlike the AMP output, the TAPE level is fixed, so that you have to adjust the input level on the recorder.
34 The POWER ON switch turns on the PRO MIXER.
