Resound VX8.1 Controls and Connections
11. LINE OUT - Line level XLR output jack to connect to the input of a another Resound
VX8.1 to expand your sound system.
NOTE: When connecting another powered speaker system to the THRU Output of the
Resound VX8.1, it is important to power on the main Resound VX8.1 system first, then
power on the linked speaker. When powering down the system, it is recommended to
turn off all linked speakers, then power off the main Resound VX8.1 system.
12. MIX / INPUT 1 Switch - This switch is used to select the signal that is sent to the THRU
Output. When the switch is in the MIX position, the signal at the THRU Output is a mix
of both the Input 1 and Input 2 signals. When the switch is in the INPUT 1 position the
THRU Output carries only the Input 1 signal.
13. COLUMN SELECT Switch - This switch selects the frequency response that is appropriate
for the speaker array based on the position of the speakers. When the speakers are all
in-line, use the CENTER setting. When the speaker arrays are rotated 45° in opposite
directions, use the ROTATE setting.
14. DSP - The Resound VX8.1 has four preset EQ contour curves: MUSIC, LIVE, SPEECH
and DJ.
15. SIGNAL / LIMIT Indicator - This two color indicator lights green when signal is present at
the inputs and red when the internal amplifier is near the clipping point and the limiter
is engaged. If the indicator lights red frequently, turn down the Input Volume controls
on the Resound VX8.1 or turn down the signal at the source, until the indicator does
not light anymore, or lights only occasionally with high signal peaks.
16. POWER Indicator - This indicator lights green indicating the Resound VX8.1 is On and
receiving power.
17. AC Inlet – Connect the supplied 3-pin IEC power cable here.
18. POWER Switch – Use the POWER switch to turn power to the Resound VX8.1 on or off.
19. AC Voltage selection switch - This switch is used to set the operation voltage. Be sure to
check that the switch is set correctly for your country.
