Stanton VRM-10 Tube-Preamp DJ-Mixer

The VRM-10 is Stanton's new flagship mixer. There is no other DJ mixer like it in the world. From it's valve preamp and built-in filter to its high quality faders, this mixer is any DJ's dream come true.

Inputs

The VRM-10 features 8 line and 4 phono inputs on 4 input channels. Each input channel can be assigned to either side of the crossfader, or the crossfader can be bypassed altogether. The blue LED indicators make it easy to see how the crossfader is assigned. A crossfader curve adjustment is provided to allow the user to gradually change from a sharp curve for scratching, to a long fade for mixing. 2 microphone inputs are provided on a single channel. Each mic has its own gain control and share a 3 band EQ.

Outputs

The VRM-10 has a wide selection of outputs to choose from. Master 1 features a balanced XLR connection with output level selection of 0dB or +6dB. Master 2 features unbalanced RCA connections. Each Master output features its own level control. Master 1 also features a balance control. A booth output is also provided to monitor the audio from within the DJ booth. There are 2 headphone outputs (1/4Ó/6.3mm and 1/8Ó/3.5mm)Each channel features a Pre Fader Listen button to assign each channel to the headphone output independently. If none of the PFL buttons are pressed, the master output will automatically be assigned.

An S P/DIF digital output is also provided for those who like to keep it in the digital realm through the audio path.

Aside from the effect send and return, an output labeled AUX will be useful for several applications from individual channel monitoring or recording to a second effects loop using an empty channel as a return. This will allow the user to EQ the incoming effect signal. The AUX output features individual level control for each channel.

Sound Processing

The VRM-10 features several sound processing units built-in. Each of the VRM-10Õs channels feature a gain control and an extremely versatile 3 band parametric EQ (hi/low +/-15dB; mid +/-25dB) with midrange frequency adjustment (100Hz / 10KHz). The VRM-10Õs valve preamp provides the absolute best sound quality ever in a DJ mixer.

There are 16 on board DSP effects including 2 hall reverbs, 3 room reverbs, 2 plate reverbs, and a spring simulator; 4 stereo delays; 4 chorus / flanger effects. There are 5 parameter controls including level, feedback, speed, factor, and depth. The speed controls the frequency of the LFO (0.1-20Hz), depending on the depth setting. The on board effects can be assigned to each channel or the master output.

The VRM-10 also features a DJ filter which consists of two 24dB/octave analog filters. Bandpass and notch settings are provided with high and low cut-off and resonance controls. In bandpass mode, it is possible to completely eliminate the output signal completely if the controls are used heavily. The frequency controls act as high torque kill switches. A trigger button is provided to temporarily switch the filter on or off.
