REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
VP Factory Jumper Positions
1
GROUND connector.
Since the VP 12 is powered from a remote AC supply which does not carry chassis ground through to the
grounding pin of the AC line cord, this screw has been provided in case your system does not have another earth grounding means
such as through rack rails, etc. Its use or disuse should be determined by your specific application.
2
REMOTE AC POWER input.
The VP 12 is supplied from the factory with a Model RS 1 Remote Power Supply suitable for
connection to this input jack. The power requirements of the VP 12 call for an 18-24 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. This
is not a telephone jack. Never use a power supply with your VP 12 other than the one supplied or an exact replacement obtained from or
approved by Rane Corporation. Using any other type of supply may damage the unit and void the warranty. Two years parts and
labor is worth safeguarding, don’t you think? A three year warranty is available by completing and mailing in the warranty card,
before something goes wrong.
3
MAIN OUT LEVEL switch.
Sets the output level for the MAIN output, LINE or MIC level.
4
MAIN and AUX OUTPUT XLR jacks.
Are fully balanced outputs, controlled by the front panel OUTPUT LEVEL. Pin 2 is
positive, pin 3 is negative and pin 1 is chassis ground. When driving high impedance loads, both screw terminals and XLR jacks
can be used at the same time.
5
MAIN and AUX screw terminal outputs.
Deliver the same outputs as the XLR connectors above.
6
Screw terminal patch strip.
Configured from the factory with all functions active, in the same order as the front panel. These
terminals allow the disabling or re-arranging of functions. This also allows a function block, such as the EQ, to patch into and out
of the VP 12 to an external processor or mixing channel. The factory jumper positions are illustrated below.
7
LINE/EXPAND IN screw terminals and ¼" TRS jack.
This is a line level balanced input. Tip is positive, ring is negative and
sleeve is chassis ground. Do not use both screw terminals and the ¼" TRS jack simultaneously. They do not sum.
8
MIC input.
A fully balanced Mic level input. Pin 2 is positive, pin 3 is negative and pin 1 is chassis ground.
9
48V PHANTOM POWER switch and LED.
When this switch is in, 48 VDC is fed to the MIC IN jack and the LED is lit.
