VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P
1.2 Before you get started
The VIRTUALIZER PRO was carefully packed in the factory to ensure safe transport. Nevertheless, if the box
shows signs of damage, please check the equipment immediately for any signs of external damage.
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be
granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO requires one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Please leave an
additional 4" installation depth to allow connections at the rear side.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation and do not place the VIRTUALIZER PRO on top of an amplifier,
which could cause overheating.
Before connecting the VIRTUALIZER PRO to the mains, carefully check that your equipment is
set to the correct voltage:
The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markings, with two of these triangles opposing
each other. The VIRTUALIZER PRO is set to the operating voltage printed next to these markers and can be
set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder by 180°. CAUTION: This instruction does not apply to
export models exclusively designed, e.g. for 115-V operation!
Connection to the mains is made by a mains cable with an IEC receptacle that complies with the required
safety regulations.
All pieces of equipment must be grounded. For your own safety, under no circumstances
should you remove or de-activate the grounding of your equipment or the mains cable.
Installation and operation of this equipment must be carried out by competent staff only. Both
before and after installation, the staff using the equipment should make sure that it is properly
grounded since otherwise electrostatic discharge etc. can lead to an impairment of its
operation. For more information, see chapter 6 “INSTALLATION”.
The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO is equipped with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The
circuit design features automatic hum suppression for balanced signals and thus ensures trouble-free
operation, even at the highest operating levels. Externally induced mains hum, etc. can therefore be effectively
suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the
nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (6-dB correction).
The MIDI connectors (IN/OUT/THRU) are standard DIN plug connections. The data communication is isolated
from ground by opto-couplers.
1.3 Control elements

The BEHRINGER VIRTUALIZER PRO’s front panel includes five edit controls (non-intermittent rotary controls),
a jog wheel (big rotary control), six parameter keys, an LED display and a mains switch. Each of the two fully
independent channels can be monitored with an 8-digit LED meter.
