STVC Quickstart

 

8.

 

Then switch on your computer (if connected), the 
mixing console and finally the amplifier or active 
monitor speakers. 

r

 

The  overall  volume  of  the  STVC  can  be  controlled 
with  the 

Master  Volume

  dial.  This  also  affects  the 

Headphones

 output. 

r

 

If  you  do  not  choose  to  connect  a  mixing  console, 
you  can  patch  the  STVC’s  output  signals  directly  to 
an  amplifier  or  an  audio  interface.  Use  an  input 
usually called Line, Aux or Tape input.  

r

 

The  STVC’s  audio  outputs  deliver  unbalanced  line 
levels.  When  connecting  to  an  amplifier,  a  mixing 

console or an audio interface with automatic balan-
ced/unbalanced sensing inputs, please make sure to 
use  TS  mono  jack  cables  and  not  TRS  stereo  jack 
cables. 

s

 

Before  connecting  and  disconnecting  the  STVC  to  a 
power  supply  source,  turn  your  amp’s  volume  con-
trol all the way down to avoid damage due to on/off 
switching noise. The STVC produces a high level out-
put signal. Please take care that the connected play-
back  device  is  suitable  for  the  high  level  of  an 
electronic  instrument.  Never  use  the  microphone  or 

phono input of the connected amp! 

The Rear Panel Connections 

The  STVC  provides  an  analog  stereo  audio  output  and  a 
headphones  output.  Both  outputs  are  affected  by  the  set-
ting  of  the  Master  Volume  control.  Use  2  TS  mono  jack 
cables to connect the Audio output to a mixer.  

Audio Output 

Connect  the  left  and  right  jack  with  1/4-inch  mono  plugs 
for  using  STVC  as  stereo  device.  If  you  want  to  use  it  as 
mono  device,  only  connect  the 

Right/Mono 

jack  of  the 

output pair with a 1/4 inch mono plug and make sure not 
to connect any cable into the 

Left/Stereo 

jack. 

Headphones Output 

Here  you  can  connect  any  headphone  with  a  1/4-inch 
stereo plug. The headphone output uses the same signal as 
the main output.  

Pedal/Line Inputs 

The 

Line

  input  allows  you  either  to  connect  any  suitable 

expression pedal or a mono jack to send a line audio signal 
into the STVC.
