"Y" the sound to two mono cable connectors,
then use a RS dual-mono-to-stereo mini-plug
adapter (with the right input connectors
for the "Y" ends...) to get to a stereo
mini-plug for input to the VX-2000.
Though this involves more contacts, I have
found the connections with this solution more
reliable than trying to use the small one-piece
RS mono-to-stereo mini-plug adapter. Best,
though, is to make your own adapter cable,
to minimize the number of contacts. Be sure
to switch the VX-2000 input to "line" when
taking in the mixer output...
