American Audio - VMS5  

Rear Panel




  1. POWER: Use the included power adaptor to connect VMS5 to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the cable into VMS5 first, and then plug the cable into a power outlet. Use the Power Switch to turn the VMS5 on and off. Turn on VMS5 after all input devices have been connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off VMS5.
    The power connection is not necessary if the unit is only used as a Midi controller; however it is strongly advised to be used.

  2. USB. This USB connection sends and receives audio and control information from a connected computer.
