VS-880 Application Guide

In order to control the volume of an audio signal being recorded into the VS-880, it is sometimes advisable

to use an external limiter or compressor to control the dynamic range of your microphone before

recording. (Limiter and compressor are defined in the Appendix).

You will need to connect your microphone to the VS-880 Input # 1, select Tr. 1-1 for recording, correctly

adjust the volume, then finally record the instrument to Tr. 1-1.

You record on the VS-880 as outlined on page 41 of this guide, however, you must first make the proper

settings on your external limiter.

of the compressor device.

3. Adjust the settings of the compressor/limiter (see the instructions for the device).

4. Sing into the microphone as loud as you will during the performance and turn the [INPUT

SENS 1] knob clockwise until the PEAK light turns red, then turn it slightly

counterclockwise until the red peak LED goes off (the read peak LED should only come on

occasionally during the loudest point of your performance).

press the [SELECT] button under the MIXER MODE label until the INPUT>TRACK mode is

selected (LED is on).

setting unless you have changed it).

ready mode.

The fader controls what you hear, it will not affect the recording level.
