22—Working with the VS-2480 Outputs
The VS-2480 offers a wide range of analog output jacks and digital connectors from
which you can send its audio signals to external devices. This chapter discusses how to
route signals to them and how they can be used.
The VS-2480 Outputs
Output Pairs
The VS-2480’s analog and digital outputs are managed as left/right or odd/even output
pairs when you’re routing signals to them. These pairs are fixed, and can’t be altered.
Analog Output Jacks
The VS-2480 has eight 1/4” analog output jacks that you can connect to external devices
when you want to send audio signals out of the VS-2480. You can use the jacks for the
jobs suggested by their names or for any other purpose in which you need to get a
VS-2480 audio signal to an external device that has analog inputs.
When you’re routing busses to them, the eight 1/4“mono analog output jacks are
divided into the following four sets of stereo jacks:
• MASTER L/R • AUX A L/R • AUX B L/R • MONITOR L/R
When you’re routing track signals directly to the analog jacks—perhaps to send them
to tracks on an external multitrack recorder with analog inputs—they’re divided into
the following four pairs of output jacks:
• ANALOG MULTI 1 and 2 • ANALOG MULTI 3 and 4
• ANALOG MULTI 5 and 6 • ANALOG MULTI 7 and 8
You can also route any pair of busses to the two stereo 1/4” PHONES jacks.
Digital Output Connectors
The VS-2480 provides both S/P DIF-format and R-BUS digital output connectors.
S/P DIF Stereo Output Connectors
The VS-2480 has one coaxial and one optical stereo S/P DIF output connector (Page 49).
If you’ve connected a VS-2480 S/P DIF output to a device that’s using a lower bit rate,
you can dither the VS-2480’s output down to the desired bit depth—see Page 366.
You can activate digital copy-protection to prevent the making of digital copies of audio
you’ve recorded on a connected external DAT or MiniDisc recorder—see Page 366.
For a detailed discussion of master clock considerations when sending digital audio
from device to device, see Page 132.
