AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Features Audio Connections Connection of the audio feeds is straightforward. Please refer to the system interconnect block diagram (Figure 1–13 on page 23) for clarification of the general signal paths into and out of the AVMFlex58W Series units. Cable Recommendations Recommended cable type for analog video signals is: Belden 8281, Belden 1694A, or equivalent. Recommended cable type for analog audio signals is: Belden 9451 or equivalent.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Features The display also has a power LED of its own and a bi-color (red/green) tally indication LED. All AVMFlex58W Series models come equipped with two 10-segment tri-color (red/amber/green) LED bar graph display level meters, separate volume and balance controls, a power indication LED, headphone output, and a unique LED display, which visually shows phase (polarity) relationships of the signals selected for monitoring.

AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Front Panel Headphone Jack: Select the headphone audio sources as you would for the internal speakers. When you plug in headphones, the speakers will mute. This jack accepts a standard 1/4” phone type stereo plug. Audio Level Meters: Audio levels are visually displayed via these two 10-segment, tri-color (red, amber, green) LED bar graph display level meters. The left bar graph monitors Channel A while the right bar graph monitors Channel B.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Front Panel Phase Indication LEDs: These three LEDs offer instant visual verification of phase (polarity) conditions in the pair of channels selected for monitoring in the left/right channel speakers. The two smaller top and bottom LEDs, labeled + and -, show instantaneous phase relationships in the signal, while the larger middle LED, labeled AVG, indicates the average phase condition. The top + LED glows (or blinks) green when signals are in-phase.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Rear Panel VPOD Video signals entering the AVMFlex58W Series unit are monitored through the VPOD LCD video display. The VPOD module is attached to the front panel by a length of flexible gooseneck tubing allowing angle viewing adjustment in all directions. 4:3/16:9 (Switch): Selects the image aspect ratio displayed. The horizontal axis is narrow for 4:3 and full width for 16:9. Input A/B (Switch): Pressing the switch up selects input A; pressing it down selects input B.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Rear Panel Balanced Audio Out: These two male 3-pin XLR connectors are analog outputs of the source as selected for the left and right speakers. See the diagram below for pin out information for these connectors. Figure 1–3 XLR Pin Outs Female Male Tally (DB-25): This 25-pin sub-miniature connector allows you to control the tally light on the front of the VPOD. For more information about this connector and how it functions, refer to Tally Control on page 15.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Rear Panel CVBS In A and B: Each of these two female BNC connectors (CVBS A, IN and CVBS B, IN) accept standard CVBS (Composite Analog) video signals and are configured for 75 Ω impedance connections. Note that video input selection is linked to the audio input selection. CVBS Loop Out A and B: Each of the two loop output connectors (CVBS A and CVBS B) provide passive signal-through connections from the associated CVBS IN connector to down-stream equipment.
AVMFlex58W Series User Guide Rear Panel SDI Output (BNC-F): The SDI output connector outputs a reclocked (regenerated) copy of the of the signal entering the SDI input connector and is configured for an unbalanced 75 Ω connection. This output functions regardless of other selection settings so that the reclocked output can remain independent of the unit’s other monitoring functions (as long as a valid SDI source is present on the SDI input).

It should be noted that both woofer speakers, which are wired in series, are driven from one woofer speaker channel, and are not stereo. See the simplified diagram below for a block diagram of the AVMFlex58W Series audio amplifier/speaker configuration.
