8 BASS V-AMP LX1B/BASS V-AMP PRO LX1B PRO User Manual
(24) The balanced stereo signal of your BASS V-AMP PRO can be taken at the
DI OUT. This output should be connected to two balanced channel inputs on
your mixing console. The signal level is set at +4 dBu in studio modes and at
-10 dBu for live modes.
(25) The connection to the inputs of an external stereo eects unit can be made
using the POST DSP SEND (OUT) stereo output. The signal present at this
output is identical to the signal at the digital outputs. In contrast to the
SEND/LINE OUT connector (20), the signal is POST DSP here. In case both of
the respective RETURN (IN) connectors (22) are not in use, the identical signal
can be taken at the ANALOG LINE OUTPUTS (21).
(26) BASS V-AMP PRO’s signal can be digitally taken at the S/PDIF output.
(27) The digital output signal of the BASS V-AMP PRO in AES/EBU format is
found at the AES/EBU output (XLR connector), provided AES/EBU has
been selected as output signal format (please adhere to the second note
under (8) E).
(28) Devices used to externally synchronize your BASS V-AMP PRO should
be connected at the WORDCLOCK connector. This is a high-impedance
connector, meaning that it has no internal terminal resistor (75 Ohm).
(29) This is the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the BASS V-AMP PRO.
Theconnector is precongured in the MIDI Out setting at the assembly plant,
but it can be switched to MIDI Thru (see (8) A).
(30) A MIDI foot pedal, for example the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER
FCB1010, can be connected at the MIDI IN connector. Please also read
chapter 8.4.
(31) SERIAL NUMBER.
(32) FUSE RETAINER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that the voltage
indicated in the voltage selector maches the local voltage before you
connect the unit to the mains. Always replace blown fuses with fuses of
the same type. Some units feature a fuse retainer in which a selection
between 230 V and 120 V is possible. Please beware: Whenusing
your unit outside of Europe on 120 V, a higher fuse rate is required
(see chapter 8 “INSTALLATION”).
(33) Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching cable is provided with
the unit.
2.3 BASS V-AMP connectors (side)
(21) The stereo output signal of your BASS V-AMP can be taken at the balanced
LINE OUT connectors.
(29) This is the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the BASS V-AMP. The connector is
congured to MIDI Out at the assembly plant, but it can be recongured to
MIDI Thru (see (8) A).
(30) A MIDI foot pedal (e.g. the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010)
canbe connected to the MIDI IN connector. More on this subject in
chapter8.4.
(33) Connect the power supply unit via the AC IN connector. When you plug
the power supply unit in the mains, your BASS V-AMP is automatically
switchedon.
(34) Connect the stereo jack of your footswitch FS112V to the FOOTSWITCH
connector. This will enable you to alternate between dierent presets
within a preset bank. When you keep the DOWN button on the footswitch
pressed for longer than two seconds, this automatically powers up the tuner.
Doingthe same again alternately turns the tuner o.
(35) The volume of the signal fed into the AUX IN input is adjusted by using the
AUX LEVEL control.
(36) By using the AUX IN jack input, you can feed an additional stereo signal
into your BASS V-AMP. This way, you can play along to a drum computer
oraplayback.
3. Application Examples/
Operating Modes
To optimally adapt your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO to various studio and/
or live situations, you may choose between six dierent operating modes
(CONFIGURATION, keys B and D in the case of BASS V-AMP as well as keys D and E
in the case of BASS V-AMP PRO). These operating modes function independently
from the settings already selected on the unit itself (i.e. how the output signal
of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is taken). This way, the left and the right
output signals can be used entirely dierently. The table on the following
page explains in full detail how you can tap into the signal at the output of
your BASSV-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO with or without a speaker simulation/EQ.
Additionally, the eects signal at the output does not necessarily have to be
identical for both sides (see table 3.1).
3.1 Selecting an operating mode
(CONFIGURATION)
Your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is set to studio 1 (S1) operating mode when
it leaves the assembly plant. To change this setting, select the CONFIGURATION
mode. Please press the B and D keys at the same time (BASS V-AMP) or D and
E (BASS V-AMP PRO). By using the arrow keys, you select between dierent
operating modes. To exit this mode, press TUNER once.
Various operating modes are described on the following pages in greater detail.
To adjust the output level of your instrument, use a specic level control located
at the beginning of the signal path. This way, it is possible to adjust the input
sensitivity by +12/-6 dB (middle value = 0 dB): Please select the CONFIGURATION
mode and adjust the desired sensitivity level by keeping the TAP key pressed and
turning the GAIN control.
◊ A change in input gain has an effect on all presets. Therefore, use it
with caution to allow for example an adjustment to instruments with
strongly vary-ing signal levels.
3.2 Standard setup
To use your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO at the practice room, connect the
unit as described in g. 1.4. and 2.3 of the included appendix. Instead of a bass,
you can of course connect other musical instruments. Connect your headphones
to the PHONES connector. By using the FS112V footswitch delivered with your
BASSV-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO, you can alternate between the ve presets
contained in a preset bank, or you can power up the tuner.
Live modes L1 and L2 featured in gures 1.4, 1.5 and 2.4 are particularly well
suited for more demanding live or practice room applications. By using a MIDI
foot controller (g. 1.4 and 2.5), you can alternate between dierent presets,
banks and amps, the tuner etc. An additional stereo signal can be fed into your
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO at the aux in (see g. 1.3 and 1.5).
Naturally, your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is in its best shape when its bass
parts are immortalized on an analog or digital recording medium. Itsadvantages
are most apparent when used in recording situations. Your BASSV-AMP/
BASSV-AMP PRO gives you unsurpassed exibility because you can simply
take it with you into the control room and forget all about having to use
speakers. Thisway, you have the best control of the sound of your BASS V-AMP/
BASSV-AMP PRO at all times.
If you realize that you have to change the signal on the mixing console,
youcan work with the tone engineer on your sound so that the recording
is done optimally, capturing your sound the way you want it. Simply put:
noannoyingback-and-forth trips between studio and control room.
