1. INTRODUCTION
By purchasing the BEHRINGER PRO MIXER VMX1000, you've gotten your hands on an awesome DJ mixer, whose rich features such as the beat counter, sends and returns as well as the additional subwoofer output let you work in completely new and creative ways. The VMX1000 can be used in professional situations, is absolutely a breeze to operate, and it gives your creativity an outlet for expression. Due to the most "in" features and technologies it puts to use, it can be optimally utilized in dance clubs and professional DJ installations.
The following user's manual is intended to familiarize you with the unit's control elements, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user's manual, store it at a safe place for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The PRO MIXER was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.
We recommend that you use a flight case, so as to give your mixer optimum protection during use or transport.
Always use the original packing carton to prevent damage during storage or transport.
Make sure that children cannot play unsupervised with the device or its packaging.
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the PRO MIXER on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
For rack mounting, please use M6 metal nuts and bolts.
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured only for use with 120 V!
If you alter the unit's voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter "SPECIFICATIONS".
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter "SPECIFICATIONS".
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All required safety precautions have been adhered to.
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. The unit should always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
When installing the product, ensure the appliance coupler of power cord is easily accessible for disconnecting the unit from mains.
1.1.3 Warranty
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at www.behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located on the rear of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims (see 140)
1.2 The user's manual
This user's manual has been written in such a way to enable you an overview over the control elements of the unit and offers at the same time detailed information about possible applications. To facilitate quick lookups, control elements have been described in groups depending on their function. All control elements can easily be located using the numerated illustrations attached to this manual. Should you need detailed information about specific topics not covered in this manual, please visit our website at www.behringer.com.
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
2.1 Microphone channels
1 These are the balanced XLR connectors for dynamic microphones.
2 Using the 3-band microphone equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW), you can change the sound of your voice and optimally adjust it (+/-15 dB).
3 The AUX control adjusts the volume of the MIC AUX send signal laid out at the rear panel MIC AUX SEND connector (see 38)
4 Use the VOL control to adjust the microphone signal volume.
Your PRO MIXER features a talk over function. It works very simply: as soon as you talk into your mike while a track is playing, the track's volume is lowered. When talking to the audience, this function is useful because it makes your voice come through over the music.
5 Use the TALK key to activate the talk over function (its LED is lit).
6 The SENS control changes the sensitivity of the talk over function. The lower it is set, the louder does the mike signal need to be in order to suppress the music signal.
7 Use the DPT control to determine the extent to which the music signal is lowered.
8 Use the MIC ON switch to activate the microphone channel. If its LED is lit, the channel is active.
2.2 Stereo channels
9 Select the input signal for the stereo channels using the INPUT key. "Phono" is intended for connecting a turntable. "Line" and "CD" have to be selected for all other signal sources (e.g. CD or MD players). Unlike the first three channels, channels 4 and 5 each feature two line inputs. On the rear panel, a special feature lets you change the input sensitivity of the phono inputs of channels 1 through 3 to line level, so that you get more flexibility (see )[36]
Never connect equipment with line level signals to the highly sensitive phono inputs! The output signal level of turntables is on the order of magnitude of milivolts, while CD players and tape decks have signal levels measuring in volts. Simply put, line signals are up to 100 times stronger than those intended for phono inputs. If you're using phono inputs that can be switched into line level (see26), always make sure that the PHONO/LINE switch is in its correct position (switch pressed!).
10 The TRIM control is used to set the level of the input signal. The display leads off the current signal level.
[11] Every input channel features a 3-band equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW) with kill characteristic. This way, a signal can be lowered (-32 dB) much more than it can be increased (+12 dB). For example, this function is useful when you need to suppress a particular frequency range in a music track.
The overall signal level is also dependent on the EQ settings. You should first adjust the EQ before adjusting the signal level.
12 By using the EQ BYPASS key, you can deactivate the 3-band equalizer. This way, you can easily compare the processed and the unprocessed signals with one another; or, you can alternate between extreme EQ settings and the "raw" signal, creating cool effects.
13 You can read off the level of input signals (post EQ) using the 4-digit LEVEL meter.
14 Determine the channel volume using the 60-MM CHANNEL fader.
15 Pressing the PFL key routes the respective input so that it can be monitored on the headphones (corresponding LED is lit). You can also dial up several channels and listen to them simultaneously (see also chapter 2.4 "HEADPHONE section").
2.3 MAIN OUT section
16 The VOL 1 control is used to adjust the output volume on the MAIN 1 output (see 41)
17 The VOL 2 control is used to adjust the output volume on the MAIN 2 output (see 46)
18 To adjust balance on the MAIN 1 output, use the BAL 1 control.
19 You can read off the MAIN 1 audio signal volume level on the LEVEL METER.
[20] The POWER switch powers the PRO MIXER on. You should always make sure that the POWER switch is in the "Off" position when initially connecting the unit to the mains. When the switch is in its upper position ("I"), the VMX1000 is powered on (see fig. 2.1). When the switch is in its lower position, the unit is off.

natural_image

Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appliance coupler. Unplug the power cord when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
Always turn the power amps on last to avoid inrush currents that can easily damage your speakers. And, to avoid sudden and unpleasant surprises for your ears, make sure there is no signal at the PRO MIXER before turning on the power amps. To be sure, slide all the faders to the bottom and switch all controls to the zero position.
2.4 HEADPHONE section
The PFL signal is your headphone signal used to monitor music without influencing the MAIN signal (PFL = Pre Fader Listening).
21 This is the unbalanced PHONES connector for your headphones. Your headphones should have a minimum impedance of 32 Ohms. For example, the BEHRINGER HPX2000 headphones are ideally suited for this purpose.
22 If the MODE switch is in the "SPLIT" position, the PFL signal is on the left, and the MAIN signal is on the right. The MIX control (see 23 has no function in this case. While in "STEREO" mode, you can alternate between MAIN and PFL signals using the MIX control.
23 When in "STEREO" mode, use the MIX control to determine which signal is heard on the headphones. When MIX is in its left-most position (PFL), you can only hear the headphone signal selected previously using the PFL keys of the input channels (see 15). When MIX is in its rightmost position (MAIN), you can only hear the MAIN audio signal. Placing the MIX control somewhere in between those two extreme positions determines the volume ratio of the two signals. If the MODE switch is in its "SPLIT" position (see 22the (PFL) MIX control has no function.
24 The VOL control determines the volume of the headphone signal.
2.5 XPQ 3D surround function
The XPQ 3D surround function is a built-in effect that gives your music a nice finishing touch, making every performance truly memorable. By widening the stereo base, the sound comes through more alive and transparent. Using the XPQ ON switch 25 activates the XPQ 3D surround function (corresponding LED is lit) and the XPQ control 26 determines the intensity of the effect.
2.6 Effects loop
27 Using the RET control, you determine the volume of the effects signal that can be brought in at the RETURN input on the rear (see 49p to get the effects signal, you need to connect the inputs of an effects unit to the SEND outputs (see 48f your VMX1000. The outputs of the effects unit are then connected to the RETURN inputs of your mixer.
2.7 CROSSFADER section
28 The VCA CONTROLLED CROSSFADER is used to cross fade between the selected channels (see30). The crossfader used in the VMX1000 is a professional 45-mm fader.
29 Use the CF CURVE control to modify the control character of the crossfader between linear and logarithmic in an infinite number of steps. When in linear characteristic mode, the crossfader fades equally in each segment of its movement range; in the logarithmic characteristic mode, volume control is concentrated to the outer segment of the fader's range of motion.
30 Use the ASSIGN A and ASSIGN B rotary switches to determine which input signals are routed to the A and B sides of the CROSSFADER. With ASSIGN A, channels 1 through 4 can be selected; with ASSIGN B, channels 2 through 5. Then, you can alternate between these two channels using the CROSSFADER (see 28)
2.8 AUTO BPM COUNTER
The integrated auto BPM counter is an extremely useful feature. It ensures smooth transition from one track to the next. It can calculate the tempos of various tracks in BPM (beats per minute). Both BPM counter sections are identical and both show the BPM value of the two stereo channels routed to the crossfader.
The tempo of the track assigned by using the ASSIGN A or ASSIGN B keys is shown in the respective DISPLA ^¥1 . Several tempo changes in one track would produce a constant display of various BPM values and thus lead to unnecessary confusion. That's why each beat counter section has a SYNC LOCK button ^52 at can be used during the song to limit the range of possible tempo values. This makes sense if the counter has already calculated a realistic value. You can do the same manually with the BEAT ASSIST button ^33 . Push this button at least three times in sync with the song's tempo, and the tempo you tapped appears in the DISPLAY. The BEAT ASSIST and SYNC LOCK buttons are each equipped with a LED.
To exit SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST mode, simply press the SYNC LOCK key in both channels once again.
When no signal is present (or when the signal level is too low), the BPM display shows only dashes. When the signal is present but can not be identified, the display shows 160 BPM and then shows the dashes. The beat counter then attempts to get another readout. Therefore, "160" BPM is no usable value; rather, it is simply an error message when the signal can not be analyzed.
2.9 Connections
34 These are the LINE and CD inputs respectively, used for connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc. Unlike other channels, channels 4 and 5 feature two line inputs.
35 The PHONO inputs for channels 1 through 3 are intended for connecting turntables. Channels 1 through 3 can be switched over to line level (see 36)
36 Using the PHONO/LINE switches, you can change the input sensitivity of the PHONO inputs on channels 1 through 3 to line level (switch pressed). This way, you can even connect a tape deck or a CD player to the PHONO inputs.
IMPORTANT: Always pay attention to the correct position of the PHONO/LINE switch when connecting a line level signal to a phono input. The switch must be in its pressed position (LINE)! Otherwise, overdriving may lead to permanent damage to the phono input.
37 The GND connectors are used for grounding turntables.
38 The MIC AUX signal, adjustable using the AUX controls on the microphone channels (see is laid out at this SEND jack connector. For example, the input of an external reverb can be connected here.
39 An external stereo effects signal can be fed back into the VMX1000 using the RETURN L/R jack connectors. If you connect a mono effects signal, you need to use the left RETURN L connector. The effect volume can only be adjusted on the output control of the effects unit.
40 SERIAL NUMBER. Please take the time to complete and return the warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. Or, simply register online at www.behringer.com.
41 The balanced MAIN 1 XLR outputs are used for connecting a power amplifier. Use the VOL 1 control to adjust the volume (see 16)
42 Hitting the MONO key changes the stereo MAIN 1 output signal into a mono signal. Doing this makes sense when you for example use your PRO MIXER in large rooms where the speakers are placed far from each other. A stereo signal would have a disrupting effect, since the speakers each transmit a somewhat different signal. If you press MONO, an identical signal is transmitted to both MAIN 1 outputs. The BAL 1 control (see 8) has no function here.
43 You can connect an additional amplifier to the SUBWOOFER output in order to drive a passive subwoofer. If you wish to use an active subwoofer, connect it directly to this output. Either way, you get more bass power out of your music.
44 Use the LEVEL control to adjust the volume of the SUBWOOFER output signal.
45 Use the X/O control to adjust the upper cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER signal (adjustable between 30 and 200 Hz). All frequencies with values below the cut-off frequency will be reproduced.
46 The MAIN 2 output allows you to connect an amplifier to drive monitor speakers or to provide sound in another room/area ("zone"). The VOL 2 control (see 17) adjusts the MAIN OUT section.
47 Using the TAPE output, you can record your music by connecting equipment such as tape decks, DAT recorders etc. Unlike the MAIN outputs, the output volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the input level on the recording device.
[48] Your PRO MIXER features an effects loop that can be used for an external effects unit or a sampler. The signal is taken at the PFL section through the SEND connector and fed into your external equipment. The signal laid out at the SEND connector is therefore identical to the headphone signal. Connect this output to the input of your effects unit.
49 The signal that was processed externally is mixed into the MAIN OUT signal using the RETURN channel. Use the RET control to adjust the volume of the effects signal (see 27) Connect this input to the outputs of your effects unit.
[50] This is the connector for the power cable. This is where the advantage of a sophisticated internal power supply can be seen: the pulse behaviour of each amplifying circuit is mainly determined by the voltage reserves available. Each mixing console is equipped with numerous operational amplifiers (op amps) to process line level signals. Due to limited output of their power supplies, many mixing consoles show signs of "stress" when subjected to heavy loads. But not your PRO MIXER: the sound is always clear and transparent.
51 FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SETTING. Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On some units, the fuses holder can be switched to one of two positions, i.e. 230 V and 120 V.
To disconnect power from main, pull out the main cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Audio connections
For various applications, you will need a number of different cables. The following illustrations show how these cables are to be connected. Always make sure to use high-grade cables.
Be sure that installation and operation of your VMX1000 are performed only by qualified personnel. During as well as after installation, sufficient grounding of both your equipment and persons handling it must be assured. Otherwise, electrostatic discharge may lead to undesirable operation or permanent damage.
