ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by
purchasing the ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496. With the
ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL you have acquired an extremely powerful
device for creatively processing your music. Its professional
design means the VX2496 can produce excellent results, both in
the studio and live. Numerous features, such as the opto
compressor or the voice-optimized EQ mean you can even
process signals with a very wide dynamic range and tailor them
to the overall sound of your music. In addition, the VX2496 has a
digital AES/EBU output with a high-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz A/D
converter and a wordclock input enabling synchronization to
external devices.
The BEHRINGER ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL combines a microphone
preamp, control amplifier and equalizer and is ideally suited for
connection to a hard disk recording system where you could,
for example, record vocals directly onto the hard drive. The
highest quality is maintained, as any potential deterioration caused
by inserting into a mixing console is eliminated. In addition, the
integrated A/D converter ensures optimum conversion of the
analog signal with no degradation of sound quality. And, due to
its professional signal-processing features, the ULTRAVOICE
DIGITAL is also the ideal tool for optimizing live vocals.
To familiarize yourself with the functions of the VX2496, simply
connect any audio signal and try out each individual control. Use
a relatively uncompressed signal (for example, one of your own
recordings) in order to judge the effect of the opto-compressor.
CDs are usually pre-compressed, which makes it difficult to
hear how the compressor changes the sound.
Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of
BEHRINGER users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in us by purchasing
the VX2496.
Writing this foreword for
you gives me great
pleasure, because it
represents the cul-
mination of many months
of hard work delivered
by our engineering team
to achieve a very am-
bitious goal: to offer you
a high-quality device
whose flexibility makes
it suitable for use both in
studios and in the P.A.
rental market.
The task of designing our new ULTRAVOICE DIGITAL VX2496
certainly meant a great deal of responsibility which we assumed
by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting
your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But
it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of
people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who
participated in such a project can be proud of what theyve
achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products youve
made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making
it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality
as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely
reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to
your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such
high-quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer
is quite simple: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isnt it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
I would like to thank all of you who have made the
ULTRAVOICEDIGITAL possible. You have all made your own
personal contributions, from the developers to the many other
employees at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
