Using Two Resound VX8.1 Systems

For larger sound reinforcement applications using a pair of Resound VX8.1 systems, there

are two methods of connecting the systems.

Connect two Resound VX8.1 systems to a mixer

1. Turn the Resound VX8.1 system’s and mixer Power switch to the OFF positions.

2. Turn the VOLUME controls on the rear panel of the Resound VX8.1 down, fully

counterclockwise.

3. Following the manufacturer’s instruction, connect the audio sources to your mixer.

4. Connect either a XLR or 1/4” cable from the output of your mixer to the INPUT 1 jack

on the Resound VX8.1 rear panel. Set the MIC / LINE switch to the LINE position.

5. Connect the supplied power cables to the IEC sockets on the back of the Resound

VX8.1 systems. Plug the power cables into an AC outlet.

Note: Always make sure that the AC outlet is configured with the correct voltage as

indicated on the rear panel of the Resound VX8.1.

6. Switch the Resound VX8.1 POWER switches to the ON position.

7. Run an audio signal from your mixer and check that you are getting a good level using

the mixers output meter.

8. Slowly raise the Resound VX8.1 INPUT 1 Volume controls until you have reached the

desired level.

9. If the volume from the speakers gets really loud, or you see the LIMIT indicator blinking

frequently, turn down the Volume control on the Resound VX8.1 a little until the Peak

indicator does not light, or only lights occasionally with signal peaks.

Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the “last on, first off” rule of

powered audio gear - When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are

connected, first turn on your mixer and any other outboard gear, then turn on your

Resound VX8.1. When powering down, turn off your Resound VX8.1 off first and then

your mixer and outboard gear.
