Frequently Asked Questions - VM-KG08 Vonyx

How to connect a microphone to the mixing console?

Plug your microphone into an XLR input (balanced). Use the GAIN knob to adjust the input level. If using a condenser microphone, activate the +48V phantom power with the corresponding switch.

How to use the +48V phantom power?

Press the +48V button to activate phantom power on the XLR inputs. The indicator lights up. This function is necessary for condenser microphones. Caution: deactivate it if you plug in a dynamic microphone to avoid damaging it.

How to adjust the equalizer?

Each channel has three knobs: HIGH (treble at 12 kHz), MID (midrange at 2.5 kHz, sweepable with the FREQ knob from 250 Hz to 5 kHz), and LOW (bass at 80 Hz). Turn clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease, up to ±15 dB.

How to use the built-in effects?

Turn the PROGRAMMATION knob to select one of the 99 preset effects. The number flashes on the screen. Press the knob to confirm. Use FX/LEVEL to adjust the effect send level to each channel via the FX/SEND knob.

How to connect a device via Bluetooth?

Press the MODE button repeatedly until BT mode is selected. Activate Bluetooth on your mobile device and search for "Vonyx VM-KG08". Pair. A sound confirms the connection. Audio streaming is now active.

Insert a USB flash drive into the USB port. Press MODE to select REC mode. Press and hold the HI/REC button to start recording. The screen shows the duration. Press again to pause. Press and hold to stop and play the recording.

What to do if the PEAK LED lights up?

The PEAK LED indicates an input level that is too high. Reduce the GAIN of the corresponding channel by turning counterclockwise until the LED goes off. You can also activate the PAD to reduce the gain by 20 dB.

How to connect active speakers?

Connect your active speakers to the MAIN OUT outputs (XLR). Use the MAIN FADER to adjust the overall volume. Make sure the device is turned off before connecting or disconnecting cables.

How to clean the mixing console?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth. Never use chemicals, sprays or liquids. Avoid cleaning switches with sprays. Disconnect the device before cleaning.

What to do in case of malfunction?
