OVERVIEW
The VESTAX VMC-185XL replaces the PCV-275 & PCV-180 as Vestax’s midlevel 3 channel mixer. It is built on the same base format as those successful models with a few changes in features and a sturdier construction. The VESTAX VMC-185XL comes equipped with Vestax’s PCV crossfader (the same one used is scratch mixers like the PMC-05 Pro III) and has an impressive list of features aimed to satisfy a wide range of dj applications. Most important is the sheer number of inputs available, which gives you the flexibility to control a large amount of equipment with a single mixer.

FEATURES
The VESTAX VMC-185XL includes 3 channels with up to 8 total lines available plus 2 mic inputs, and offers some unique ways of controlling and monitoring your sound. To begin with, each channel is equipped with standard trim and balance controls, plus a powerful 3 band eq that goes from kill up to 4db capabilities, and a switch for turning off the eq’s completely.The effects send and return signals are assignable to all 3 channels, and each channel has the option of selecting pre-or post-fader effects and has its own effects level control. The mic inputs are split into a main mic, which has its own level control and 2 band eq, and a sub mic, which is assigned and controlled by the sub (middle channel). The main mic channel also has the option of assigning post-effects.

There are two master outputs, both of which have level controls on the main panel. The Master 1 output also has a balance control and features XLR outs, while the Master 2 output (booth) has 1/4” outs without balance control. There are two headphone jacks, one on the top face of the mixer and one on the front face. The headphone monitor can also be assigned to “split,” which means you hear the master in one ear & your assigned monitor channel in the other, or “stereo,” which means no master is heard and only the channel you select to monitor are heard.

1.WHAT DOES PCV MEAN ?
PCV Faders (Plastic Conductive Volume) up to now mainly were used in very high class studio mixers. The big advantage is a duration of (tested) 2million passes without audible loss of quality whereas standard high class faders die after about 100.000 passes.

2. WILL I BE ABLE TO HEAR THE CHANGE OF THE SOUND THROUGH THE SOUND CONTROL IN MY HEADPHONES ?
The new design structure of the mixer and the monitor circuit also enables you to monitor every sound change you are setting on your Isolator controls.

3. WHAT ARE THE FREQUENCY CUT AND BOOSTS IN THE EQ SECTION?
The VMC-180 has a full 3-band Isolator tone control on each channel which allows a infinite cut and a boost of 4 dB on each frequency range.

4. CAN I REPLACE THE EXISTING CROSSFADER WITH A PRO” FADER WITH ADJUSTABLE CURVE CONTROL?
YES
