LD SYSTEMS VIBZ 24DC


24-CHANNEL MIXING CONSOLE  WITH DFX AND COMPRESSOR


Overview

The flagship of the VIBZ Series of mixing desks, the VIBZ 24 DC is designed for superb audio in home studio and live applications. It sports 16 mono channels with 3-band EQ and semi-parametric midrange, 4 stereo channels with 4-band EQ, 4 subgroups, 24-bit digital effects with 100 presets and smooth 65 mm audio taper faders.

All channels feature high-quality preamps with gain control, 4 aux sends, mute, PFL and routing switches plus signal and clip LEDs. Two sends are switchable pre or post fader to enable monitoring or effects use. The mono channels' XLR mic and TRS line inputs are electronically balanced with channels 1 – 8 providing convenient one-knob control of the built-in compressor and individual insert points for outboard processing.

The master section offers balanced and unbalanced main mix and individual group outputs with precision metering, control room and headphone outputs with level controls and a global 7-band graphic EQ. The VIBZ 24 DC integrates a multi-voltage power supply for 100 – 240 V AC operation.

Sample Set-up:

1. Make sure that the mixer and all devices to be connected to the mixer are turned off.

2. Connect the devices to the mixer using appropriate cables.

3. Adjust the input gain of all the channels and all volume controllers for channels 1 to 23/24 and MAIN MIX to minimum. Place all equalizer controllers

in the central position (stop). Adjust the volume controller on the active loudspeaker to minimum. Turn on the +48 V phantom power on the

mixer only if you are using a condenser microphone.

4. Turn on the devices in the following order: microphone and keyboard (or other source devices), then the mixer and lastly the active speakers.

5. Always adjust the gain control of the channels so that the Clip LED of the corresponding channel only lights up briefly when signal peaks occur.

Avoid the permanent lighting of the Clip LED by reducing the input gain (Gain).

6. Press the L-R switch of the channels used to the down position and leave the MUTE switch in the up position, as well as the MUTE switch on the

MAIN MIX sum channel.

7. Bring the volume controllers (Fader) of the channels in use and of the sum channel MAIN MIX approximately to the 0 dB mark.

8. Now increase the volume of the active speakers for the incoming signal (e.g.speaking, singing, keyboard) to the desired level.

9. Fine-tuning can now be achieved by adjusting the volume ratios of the channels and by using the equalizer, compressors and effects device as

desired.
