5.5 Output Modes (Mono, Stereo, Safety)

The Vimo C3 receiver supports three output modes:

• Mono-udgang: Mixes the sound from both transmitters (A and B) into a single track.
• Stereoudgang: Outputs the sound from transmitter A to the left channel and transmitter B to the right channel, allowing for independent editing.
• Safety Output: Splits the sound into two tracks, with one track 6dB lower than the other. This lower track serves as a backup in case the main track peaks.

Note: Stereo and Safety audio tracks are not supported when using a 3.5mm TRRS to Lightning/USB cable.
