Grounding VCI -100 ?
I have always wondered why the VCI - 100 has a “grounding” screw on the back nere were you conect the USB. I am can imagine it has to do with static electricity messing with the touch sensor platters. But has somebody here actual needs to ground the VCI - 100 ? Is there any condition in which I should?
I’ve used it to ground a turntable, completely bypassing a hardware mixer. works good.
That was an unexpected answer. So you actually grounded a turntable through the VCI … very interesting. Just curious, how did you got into that situation? Another DJ was playing before and needed to ground the turntable?
I know people that have used Traktor Scratch with an internal mixer, so they are using the time coded vinyl, but using the VCI-100 as their mixer.
Ummm, that is not something you see everyday.
There’s a youtube video of it somewhere of a guy using timecode with his VCI-100. I think it’s a really good idea, myself. One I have been thinking of implementing except using my Remote 25SL
You should ground your VCi-100 if your laptop has no earth pin on the socket…
Under fault circumstances, i.e, a live component made contact with the metal casing, without an earth there’s a chance of getting a shock.
Great Jo3 !
It makes sense, thanks for the advice.
Glad I can help
