For a step by step guide on setting up an audio mix on the VR-4HD, please read this guide first:

• VR-4HD: How to Set Up Audio

 

The following information is from the VR-4HD Owner's Manual.

If you would like more information on this topic, please contact support via Roland Backstage.

 

 

You can adjust the input sensitivity, sound position, and volume balance of audio input to the VR-4HD.


Adjusting Input Gain
Adjust the input gain (head amp gain) so that incoming audio signals are at appropriate levels.
* Head amp gain can be adjusted only for channels 1 through 4.
* Manipulate the knob or fader for the corresponding input connector.

Head Amp Gain (Channels 1–4)
Adjust the head amp gain so that incoming audio signals on channels 1 - 4 are at appropriate levels.

1. Turn the [GAIN] knob all the way counterclockwise to turn down the input sensitivity.
   
   
   
   
2. Move the channel fader to near the “Bold line” (0 dB—see the figure below).
   
   
   
   
3. Raise the [MAIN] fader to an appropriate position.
   
4. Slowly turn the [GAIN] knob clockwise to adjust the input gain.
   
   Use the [GAIN] knob to gradually raise the input gain as you play the actual incoming signal. Boost the input gain as high as possible without making the SIG/PEAK indicator light up in red.
   
   A level at which the level meter lights up in yellow is appropriate (see figure below).
   
   
   

You can adjust the input sensitivity, sound position, and volume balance of audio input to the VR-4HD.


Adjusting Input Gain
Adjust the input gain (digital gain) so that incoming audio signals are at appropriate levels.
* Head amp gain can be adjusted only for channels 1 through 4.
* Manipulate the knob or fader for the corresponding input connector.

Digital Gain
Adjust the digital gain so that audio signals input via channels 1 - 7/8, HDMI 1 -  4, and USB are at appropriate levels.
* For channels 1 through 4, first adjust the head amp gain, and then adjust the digital gain as needed.

1. Move the volume knob or channel fader for the incoming audio whose input gain you want to adjust to the position shown below.
   
   HDMI 1-4 and USB
   Move the corresponding HDMI [1] to [4] knob or the [FROM PC] knob to near the indicator (0 dB – see the figure below).
   
   
   Channels 1-7/8
   Move the channel fader to near the “Bold line” (0 dB—see the figure below).
   
   
   
   
2. Raise the [MAIN] fader to an appropriate position.
   
   
3. Press the [SETUP] button for the incoming audio whose input gain you want to adjust, making the setup screen appear.
   
   
4. Select <GAIN>, then turn the [VALUE] knob all the way counterclockwise to lower the input gain completely.
   
   
   
   
5. Slowly turn the [VALUE] knob clockwise to adjust the input gain.
   Use the [VALUE] knob to gradually raise the input gain as you play the actual incoming signal. A level at which the level meter lights up in yellow is appropriate.
   
   
6. Press the [SETUP] button to quit the setup screen.
