PRO MIXER VMX200
2. FRONT PANEL
14
The PRO MIXER VMX200 is equipped with a talkover function, which works very simply: if you speak
into the microphone while a track is running, the volume of the music is automatically reduced, so that
your voice is always in front. The TALK control allows you to determine how much the music volume is
lowered (max. -24 dB).
2.5 3D surround function
The built-in QRS effect widens the stereo image and adds life and transparency to your soundan easy way
to put a unique final polish on your music and turn your performance into an incomparable experience. The
SURROUND control determines the intensity of the effect, which can be turned on and off via the ON button.
2.6 Beat counter
The PRO MIXER VMX200s built-in beat counter is an extremely useful feature, allowing smooth crossfades
between two tracksan important key to the success of your performance. The beat counter analyzes and
displays the tempi of your tracks in BPM (Beats Per Minute). The beat counter sections of channel 1 and 2 are
identical.
The tempo of the track is shown in the respective channels DISPLAY . In the case of multiple tempo
changes, the display would change continuously, causing unnecessary confusion and rendering the function
virtually useless. Enter the SYNC LOCK button : with it, you can limit the range of possible tempo values
within a song. Pressing this button once the counter has caught and displayed a realistic value will simplify
things. The BEAT ASSIST button allows you to set the beat counters tempo manually, similar to tap
tempo. Pressing the button three times in time with the track will set the beat counter and its display at that
tempo. The BEAT ASSISST and SYNC LOCK buttons are each equipped with an LED to show that the
respective function is activated.
Once the tempo of the two tracks have been determined and locked with the SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST
buttons, the tempo difference between channel 1 and 2 will be depicted via the 9-segment TEMPO DIFFERENCE
LED display . It shows the degree of the tempo difference by a respective deflection to the right (channel 2
track is faster) or to the left (channel 2 track is faster). The center LED lights when the tempi are equal. The
synchronization of channel 1 and 2 is shown in the TIME OFFSET LED display below the TEMPO
DIFFERENCE display. When the center LED is lit, the tracks are in sync with each other. When the display
moves to the left or right, the corresponding channel is running out of sync. The TEMPO DIFFERENCE and
TIME OFFSET displays are only active when the tempi of both channels have been locked as explained above.
To exit the SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST mode, simply press the SYNC LOCK key in both channels again.
2.7 Crossfader section
21
The CROSSFADER is used to fade between channels 1 and 2. Like the channel faders, the crossfader
section is equipped with a 45-mm VCA-controlled ULTRAGLIDE fader.
22
The REVERSE switch enables you to invert the direction of the crossfader, so that you can quickly
switch from channel 1 to channel 2. This effect is created by simply pushing the REVERSE switch down
(TAP)as soon as it is released, it returns to its original position and your crossfade setting (and your
music) is at it was before. Pressed upwards, the switch locks into the reversed position (HOLD). To
reset it, simply push it downwards.
23
The CROSSFADER CURVE control in the crossfader section is similar to the CURVE switches in
channels 1 and 2 (see ). The control allows you to fade between the various crossfader curve modes.

The MIC INPUT connector is a balanced ¼" TRS socket for microphone connection.
+ We strongly recommend the use of high-grade cables and connectors for the transmission of
audio signals. Inferior quality materials cannot supply acceptable audio quality or corrosion
protection.

The HEADPHONES socket allows you to connect your headphones for pre-listening (PFL signal). For
best results, use headphones with an impedance rating of at least 32 Ohms.
