Grounding VCI -100 ?
Grounding VCI -100 ? Posted on: 08.01.2009 by Mechelle Duncil 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? | |

| Mechelle Duncil 08.01.2009 | Great Jo3 ! It makes sense, thanks for the advice. |
| Florence Alch 08.01.2009 | 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. |
| Roberto Viccione 08.01.2009 | There's a youtube video of it somewhere of a guy using timecode with his VCI-100. I believe it's a really good idea, myself. One I have been believeing of implementing except using my Remote 25SL |

| Mechelle Duncil 08.01.2009 | 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? |
| DJ Strutzip 08.01.2009 | I've used it to ground a turntable, completely bypassing a hardware mixer. works good. |
