Line 6 XD-V75 manual Microphone Usage Tips

Note, In a production using both wired and wireless microphones, the modeling allows the user to select a wireless mic model that is similar to the majority of wired ones. This selection should help reduce potential feedback from dissimilar microphone frequency responses when using global EQ settings on the audio system.

Selecting Equalization Models with the TBP12 Beltpack Transmitter

The TBP12 beltpack transmitter may be used with a wide variety of lavalier, headset, and instrument microphones, as well as with a quarter-inch instrument cable. Some of these microphones are available from Line 6; with the correct wiring and a TA4F connector, virtually any mic may be used. To help the user achieve the best performance from the microphones in a multitude of applications, sets of equalization models are provided.

Note, See the TA4F wiring instructions in the Appendix at the end of the manual.

To select a particular equalization model for a lavalier, headset, or instrument microphone, press and hold the SELECT button until the display changes to the channel setting screen. Quickly press the SELECT button two more times to go to the [MODEL] page.

Microphone Usage Tips

Unlike a handheld microphone where the user typically speaks or sings directly into the mic element

–where the full frequency response of both the person and the mic is available, lavalier microphones are placed on the body in a variety of places. Being farther away from and below or to the side of the mouth, the level is usually much lower, plus the frequency response lacks the highs as well as the lows from being near the mic element. The sound is often hollow and emphasizes the midrange. When you increase the gain to bring back the level of the voice, other extraneous noises are also more easily picked up and amplified.

The sometimes substantial equalization corrections necessary to make the voice of the lavalier user sound “natural” can be quite difficult to achieve without feedback problems, especially with live audio at higher levels. Using a combination of mic placement and EQ is the best compromise for good sound
