It's basically an effects unit from Behringer. There are a couple of ways to use it. Some folks might use it inline with a keyboard or guitar for reverb, delay, flanger, chorus, or phaser.

Effects units like this are most typically used in a mix send/return scenario. One of the mixes (aux knobs) on your mixing board would be dedicated as an "effects mix" and the signal from mics and instruments could be sent to it. After the virtualizer pro processes it, the output is returned back to the mixer and added to the signal going to the speakers.

In this fashion, you could connect the output of a post-fader mix (the opposite of any mixes marked pre-fader) or a dedicated effects mix to the input of the virtualizer pro. Then you would connect the output of the virtualizer pro to an input channel or effects "return" on your mixing board.

To use the effect, bring up the fader of the instrument/mic to which you want to add an effect. Then bring up the fader for the input the effects unit is connected to (i.e. effects return) to the 0 dB or "unity" position. Slowly turn the aux mix knob on the desired instrument/mic channel that is sent to the effects unit until you hear the effect and the desired sound is achieved.

WOW, great info. Thanks! I'll work with it next week to see what I can do with it.
