9—PHONES 1 and 2 Jacks
Connect standard stereo headphones (purchased separately) to either or both of these
jacks for listening to the VS-2480. Each jack has its own volume control (Page 75). You
can select the signals to be sent to the PHONES jacks, as described in Chapter 22.
10—ANALOG MULTI OUTPUT Jacks 1-8
These are the VS-2480’s line-level analog output jacks. When used with balanced
cables, they produce a +4dBu level; when used with unbalanced cables, they produce a
level of -2dBu.
11—Grounding Terminal
In rare cases, you may feel a slight electrical current when you touch the case of the
VS-2480. While completely harmless, you may want to connect the VS-2480’s grounding
terminal to an external ground to eliminate the sensation. There’s a slight risk, however,
that grounding the VS-2480 will cause a low-level hum to occur.
12—SCSI Jack
The VS-2480’s SCSI jack is a DB-25-type SCSI connector to which you can attach a SCSI
cable connected to Roland CD-RW drive or compatible drive. You’ll find some tips for
successful SCSI connections in the
VS-2480 Appendices .
13—VGA OUT Jack
Connect an external VGA CRT color video monitor—purchased separately—to this
DB-15-type VGA output jack. The monitor’s Info Display provides helpful large-screen
information about a variety of VS-2480 operations. You’ll find setup details on Page 64
and an introduction to the Info Display screens on Page 70.
14—WORD CLOCK IN Jack
When synchronizing the VS-2480’s signal to a group of external digital devices, connect
the master timing source’s word clock output to the VS-2480’s WORD CLOCK IN jack
using a standard BNC cable.
The label for each pair of jacks shows its factory default setting. However, you can
assign different signals to the jacks if you wish. See Chapter 22, starting on Page 287.
There are a few external grounding sources you should never attempt to use. Do not
connect the grounding terminal to water pipes, which can cause shock, or even
electrocution. Don’t ground the VS-2480 to gas pipes—this can result in fire or
explosion. And don’t connect the terminal to a telephone jack or lightning rod, which
can be dangerous in the event of lightning.
