SMART STEREO WITH V2408/V2410
A pair of VARI V2408 or V2410 speakers can operate together as a Smart Stereo system, giving you control of the sound and volume of both speakers from the first master speaker, and optimally distributing all audio inputs to both speakers for rich stereo sound.
Inputs 1 and 2 are routed mono to both VARI’s, while Input 3 is routed in split stereo to the VARI’s.
- Connect all inputs and make all sound settings on the first (left) unit only.
The second (right) unit’s Input 2, Input 3 and controls are all disabled when it is set to Link In. - Set the ROUTING function on first unit to Stereo Master.
- Set the ROUTING function on second unit to Link In.
- Connect an XL (microphone) cable from the first unit’s LINK OUT jack to the second unit’s INPUT 1 jack.
- OUTPUT jack of the first speaker can optionally be connected to VS 12 or other subwoofer, or to send audio to another sound system.
- If MIX OUT jack is connected to VS 12, VS18 or other subwoofer, select SUB CUT Voicing. V2408/V2410 will then crossover the audio, to keep high frequencies for itself, and send low frequencies to the sub.
