Changing Channels
All of the VS-2480’s 64 mixer channels are active and available at all times.
• 24 input channels • 24 track channels
• 8 Aux send channels • 8 FX return channels
The four FADER buttons above the MASTER fader let you choose the type of channel
you want to work with. When you press the appropriate FADER button, the controls of
the 16 physical strips become the controls for the desired group of channels.
Switching Between Input, Track, Aux and FX Channels
Press a FADER button to turn the 16 physical channel strips into the group of channel
controls you want:
When you change what the channel strips control, the channel faders move into
position for the group of channels you’ve selected.
Setting Channel Unity Gain and Panning
The VS-2480 provides a quick shortcut for setting a channel’s fader to 0dB and its stereo
pan to its center position.
To Reset a Channel’s Fader and Pan
1. Press the FADER (see above) button that activates channel strip control of the
group of channels containing the one you want to reset.
2. While holding down CLEAR, press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
Press... Channel Strips 1-16 control: Press... ...and Channel Strips 1-16 control:
Input Channels 1-16
Input Channels 17-24
and Aux Master Channels 1-8
Track Channels 1-16
Track Channels 17-24
and FX Return Channels 1-8
If you ever get confused about what the channel strips are controlling, just look at the
four FADER buttons—they’ll tell you at a glance what they’re up to.
Before adjusting an input channel’s SENS knob when setting input levels, you’ll want
to start by setting the input channel’s fader to its unity gain, 0dB setting.
