  This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel
allowing for a maximum bass gain of +6dB or maximum signal decrease of -100dB. Turning the knob
in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning
the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal.

the mouse pad is disabled and is able to send MIDI messages. Adjustments to the mouse pad can be
made in the Control Panel (PC) or Utilities (Mac).

torted output try to maintain an average output signal level no greater than +4dB. To avoid speaker
damage that may be caused by excessive volume, be sure this knob is always set to zero (completely
down) before turning the unit on.

EQ section are used to measure incoming signal levels. Use these indicator to visually maintain an
average signal output of +4dB. A consistent average output level of +4dB will produce a clean output
signal. When no CUE sources are selected, these indicate the volume level on the MASTER OUTPUT.
When one or more CUE sources are selected, these indicate the volume level on all of the CUE sources
combined. At power-on, these indicate the VMS4 rmware version. If the left side lights up 1 LED, and
the right side lights up 3 LEDs, the rmare version is 1.3.

the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be controlled by the
master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B. Sliding the fader from one posi-
tion to another will vary the output signals of channels A and B respectively. When the crossfader is
set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels A and channels B will be even.
