The VM-8 features eight independent channels, while the VM-6 features six channels. Each channel incorporates a low impedance, XLR input and a high impedance quarter inch phone jack input. Separate pre-monitor sends, active high and low equalization, and post reverb/effect sends are also provided for each channel on the VM-6 & VM-8 versions. The master section for the VM-6 & VM-8 provides controls for main, monitor, effect send, effect return and master reverb send. The Vm-6 & 8 features a nine band equalization. Both models EQ sections offer +/-15㏈cut/boost capability. Each VM-6, & 8 features a foot switchable, spring reverb, while the VM-6SD & VM-10SD offer 128 presets of Digital Signal Processing (D.S.P.). Backed by a Two-Year Limited Warranty, the VM 6, 8, 6SD and 10SD offer portability, versatility, and dependability. Important Safety Instruction 1. Read Instructions - is operated. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance 2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. 3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on this appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to. 4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed. 5. Water and Moisture - This appliance should not be used near water- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement near a swimming pool, and the like. 6. Heat - This appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators heat registers, stoves, or other appliances(including amplifiers) that produce heat. 7. Power Sources - This appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. if you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. for appliances intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 8. Polarization - If the appliance is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug(a plug having one blade wider than the other), this plug wil fit into the power outlet only one way. this is a safety feature. if you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug . if the plug should stil fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 9. Grounding - If the appliance is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third(grounding) pin, this plug wil only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. this is safety feature. if you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. 10. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. 11. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spil ed, of objects have fallen into the appliance. c. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and wil often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation. e. If the appliance has been dropped of the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service. 12. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this appliance yourself as opining or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
