Often, when recording, additional control is desired when tracking a signal. Most external processing
gear is designed for line-level operation and will not operate properly if fed directly from a
microphone-level input signal. The VTB-1 provides an Insert Jack at line-level strength to properly
interface to most gear. The Insert send-point is directly after the SS preamp and Hi-Pass filter
sections, the return-point feeds the Tube Blend control. The Insert Jack is a 1/4” TRS jack and
is wired as Tip= Insert-send, Ring= Insert-return, Sleeve= Ground. The nominal operating level
at this point is approx 0dBu. When a compressor is being used, use the Meter (IN) to monitor the
internal level and use the Gain control to set the SS preamp to a conservative level (keep levels
below 0 on the meter). This leaves more headroom in the first, critical stage. Then use the controls
of the external compressor to keep the dynamics within the desired range.

VTB-1 HOOKUP DIAGRAM
Add an equalizer, compressor
or other equipment to the
signal path before recording.
NOTE: The VTB-1 meter is calibrated
for Pro level operation (+4dBu). The
meter may stay in its lower ranges when
driving semi-pro gear (-10dBV levels).
If your equipment has a level-select
switch, set it for +4 operation for best
results and quietest operation.
