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.
