V-AMPIRE LX1200H/LX210

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

2.2 Rear panel

The V-AMPIRE features a serial insert path for external

effects. Connect the SEND/LINE OUT connector to the

input of your effects device. The SEND/LINE OUT output is

taken directly pre-digital processor (PRE DSP), which

means you can use this connector also to record a “dry”

direct signal without any effect added. Connect the

RETURN/LINE IN connector to the output of your external

effects device.

+

When using the serial insert path, please do not

set the effects device to 100% effects signal (“wet”);

otherwise, the direct signal will be missing.

+

As soon as the VAMPIRE’s LINE IN (Return) is

connected, the signal is automatically routed to the

DSP. The input signal from the front will then be

interrupted at this point.
The ANALOG LINE OUTPUTS provide the stereo signal

without analog speaker simulation applied.
Use these connectors, for example, to connect an external

amp on stage.

+

You may use both balanced and unbalanced plugs

with the LINE OUTs.
Connect the stereo connector of your FS112V footswitch

(included) to the FOOTSWITCH socket. This will enable

you to recall the presets from one bank. To switch on the

tuner, hold down the DOWN button on the footswitch for

more than two seconds. You can also switch the tuner off

again using the same button.
The GROUND LIFT switch disconnects (switch pressed)

the ground connection at the DI OUT outputs co to effectively

eliminate hum noise resulting from ground loops. When the

switch is pressed (LIFT), the ground connection is

interrupted.
The DI OUT output provides the balanced stereo signal of

your V-AMPIRE. Connect this output (L/R) to two balanced

microphone inputs on your mixing console. With

configuration modes L1 and L2 the maximum level is reduced

to -10 dBu so that you can directly connect them to the mic

inputs of your mixing console.
The AUX IN connector socket enables you to feed in

additional stereo signals. This way, you can for example

play a drum computer or a playback.
The AUX LEVEL control is used for determining the volume

of the signal received at the AUX IN input.
Connect two loudspeakers (LEFT/MONO or RIGHT) to these

connectors.

+

LX1200H: A loudspeaker with minimum 4 W

impedance and 120 Watt power handling can be

connected to the left output (mono). Two speakers

with minimum 8 W/60 Watts each can be connected

to both outputs. Our ULTRASTACK BG412 series

speakers are a perfect match because they can be

operated in either mono or stereo mode.

+

LX210: Without external loudspeakers the internal

speakers run at 2 x 60 Watts stereo. You may

connect two 8 W/60-Watt speakers on the left and

right outputs. In this case, the internal speakers

automatically shut off. For example, when using

only the right output, it runs together with the left

internal speaker while the right internal speaker

shuts off. Alternatively, when using the left output,

the left internal speaker shuts off and only the right

internal speaker is active. Our ULTRASTACK BG412

Series is perfect for this application (at 8 W min.).

This is the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. It is configured as

MIDI OUT but can be set to act as a MIDI THRU connector

(see

A).

Use the MIDI IN to connect a foot controller, for example,

the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010

(see chapter 8.3 for details).
SERIAL NUMBER.
FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Before

connecting the unit to the mains, make sure that the voltage

setting matches your local voltage.
A blown fuse should only be replaced by a fuse of the

same type and rating. On some units, the fuse holder can

be switched to one of two positions, i.e. 230 V and 120 V.

When operating the unit outside Europe at 120 V, a higher

fuse rating is required (see chapter 8 “INSTALLATION”).
The mains connection is on an IEC receptacle. An

appropriate power cord is included.
Use the POWER switch to put the V-AMPIRE into operation.

The POWER switch should be in the “off” position (not

pressed) if you want to connect the device to the mains.

+

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully

disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect

the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug

or appliance coupler. When installing the product,

ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily

operable. Unplug the power cord completely when

the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
