ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 FOREWORD TABLE OF CONTENTS Dear Customer, welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the VX2496. rental market. Writing this foreword for you gives me great pleasure, because it represents the culmination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to achieve a very ambitious goal: to offer you a high-quality device whose flexibility makes it suitable for use both in studios and in the P.A.
ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 Once you have developed a feel for the individual components, you can unleash your creativity by combining individual functions. The SIG LED above the gain control illuminates when an input signal is present. This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you fully understand the VX2496 and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference. Ensure that the CLIP LED lights up only with peak signals.
ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 The TUNING control lets you determine the frequency range to be saturated. All other ranges remain unaffected, allowing the effect to be finely tailored. 2.4 Voice-optimized EQ To process the whole frequency spectrum, use the FULL BW button. This makes the TUNING control inoperative. 2.3 Opto compressor Fig. 2.4: Voice-optimized EQ The voice-optimized EQ is a 3-band equalizer used for sound shaping.
+ + ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 To avoid coloring the character of the sound, do not set the threshold too low when using the opto de-esser. When the threshold is set at its optimal value, the effect should only be recognizable by direct comparison to the unprocessed signal using the IN/OUT button. The LINE input is on a balanced 1/4" TRS jack. + Use the MASTER FADER to match the output signal level to the input sensitivity of the following device (e.g. your DAT or hard disk recorder).
ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 3) + If necessary you can then smooth out the dynamics of the vocal slightly with the opto compressor. Be sure not to compress the signal too much; the compressor can always be used again after the recording. Also, do not use the hard ratio function at this stage as it makes a very audible difference in the signal. If the vocalist constantly changes his distance from the microphone during recording, extreme dynamic fluctuations may result.
ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496 Loud volume can lead to large amounts of spill on stage, i.e. the microphones do not just pick up one signal (e.g. vocal), but many other signals from the stage. This can be a major problem, as the individual signals cannot be easily controlled independently. Use the expander to isolate individual signals and to lessen of spill. The level of the spill is lowered while the louder wanted signal is unaffected.
