QUICK START
Even if you don’t like to read manuals, read this part. We’ll
make it quick and painless. We promise.
Turn down (fully counterclockwise) the MIC INPUT GAIN
and both MAIN and AUX OUTPUT LEVEL controls. Set
the LOW CUT FILTER to 10 (fully CCW) and the HI CUT
FILTER to 40k (fully CW). Depress all BYPASS switches on
the front panel.
If you are using a mic, connect it to the MIC IN jack located
on the rear of the unit. If your mic requires phantom power,
press the rear panel 48V PHANTOM POWER switch. If you
are using a line level source (like the output of a wireless mic
receiver), connect its output to either the ¼" TRS jack or the
screw terminals located on the rear of the unit labeled LINE/
EXPAND IN . Leave all jumpers located on the long screw ter-
minal patch strip in the original factory shipped position. These
positions guarantee you access to all the features of the VP 12.
Connect the Outputs of the VP 12 to your mixer board or
recorder. The switch located directly next to the XLR MAIN
OUT jack converts the MAIN OUTs to either a MIC or LINE
level output, depending on your driving requirements. The AUX
OUT of the VP 12 is only line level.
Plug the included power supply (see italics below) into the
VP 12. The yellow PWR LED will illuminate if all is well. Now
warn everyone else around, and yell into your mic the loudest
sound you expect during your session or performance. While
doing this adjust the INPUT GAIN control so that the loudest
sounds will occasionally illuminate the OL LED. If you are us-
ing the LINE IN, adjust the output level of the previous device
to occasionally illuminate the OL LED of the VP 12 when the
loudest signal you expect to hear is present.
Adjust the VP 12 OUTPUT LEVEL controls to match
the device you are driving. Now taking one processing section
at a time, release its BYPASS switch and adjust the processing
controls. Any number of processing sections may be IN or BY-
PASSED to isolate different parameters. For details on setting
these properly see OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS on the last
two pages.
Never connect anything except an approved Rane power
supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the rear
of the VP 12. This is an AC input and requires special atten-
tion if you do not have an operational power supply EXACT-
LY like the one originally packed with your unit.
