Behringer BASS V-AMP ユーザーズマニュアル

BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO

3. APPLICATION EXAMPLES/OPERATING MODES

The ground connection is interrupted when the switch is

depressed (LIFT).
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.
The connection to the inputs of an external stereo effects

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

, the signal is POST DSP here. In case

both of the respective RETURN (IN) connectors

are

not in use, the identical signal can be taken at the ANALOG

LINE OUTPUTS

BASS V-AMP PROs signal can be digitally taken at the

S/PDIF output.
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

E).

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).
This is the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the BASS V-AMP

PRO. The connector is preconfigured in the MIDI Out setting

at the assembly plant, but it can be switched to MIDI Thru

(see

A).

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.
SERIAL NUMBER. Please send the completely filled out

warranty card within 14 days of purchase to us, as

warranty claims may otherwise be rendered invalid. Or

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: When using your unit outside of Europe on 120 V,

a higher fuse rate is required (see chapter 8

INSTALLATION).
Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching

cable is provided with the unit.

2.3 BASS V-AMP connectors (side)

The stereo output signal of your BASS V-AMP can be

taken at the balanced LINE OUT connectors.
This is the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the BASS V-AMP.

The connector is configured to MIDI Out at the assembly

plant, but it can be reconfigured to MIDI Thru (see

A).

A MIDI foot pedal (e.g. the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT

CONTROLLER FCB1010) can be connected to the MIDI IN

connector. More on this subject in chapter 8.4.
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 switched on.
Connect the stereo jack of your footswitch FS112V to the

FOOTSWITCH connector. This will enable you to alternate

between different 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.

Doing the same again alternately turns the tuner off.

The volume of the signal fed into the AUX IN input is

adjusted by using the AUX LEVEL control.
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 or a playback.

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 different 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 differently. The table on the

following page explains in full detail how you can tap into the

signal at the output of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO

with or without a speaker simulation/EQ. Additionally, the effects

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

different 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 specific 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 fig. 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 BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO, you can alternate

between the five presets contained in a preset bank, or you can

power up the tuner.

Live modes L1 and L2 featured in figures 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 (fig. 1.4 and 2.5), you

can alternate between different 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 fig. 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. Its advantages are most apparent when

used in recording situations. Your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP

PRO gives you unsurpassed flexibility because you can simply

take it with you into the control room and forget all about having

to use speakers. This way, you have the best control of the

sound of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO at all times.

If you realize that you have to change the signal on the mixing

console, you can work with the tone engineer on your sound so
