When the Vocal 100 is turned on, it automatically jumps to location 0.A, the first editable location. Press the (▼) button indicated in the picture below.

Down arrow ()

The display should now change to location 9b, the last factory preset. This preset is not editable. Pressing the down button (▼) repeatedly will scroll through the factory presets one by one for your review. Take note of the presets you like so that later you can scroll back up to them on the user presets to edit or fine tune them. For instance, if you like the way 8A sounds you can scroll up to 8.A of the user presets and customize it for your application. Remember, edited user presets are not stored after editing until you press the Store button. The (.) in the middle of 8.A is an indicator to let you know when you are on a user preset.

Once you have listened to the factory presets, you may want to tweak the user presets along with the analog preamp/compressor. For special instructions on how to edit presets, see Edit Mode on page 10.

1. Input Level

Controls the input level of the analog preamp. Use the Input Level control in conjunction with the Clip LED (#3) to optimize your mic signal. Starting with the Input Level on (0), sing into the mic at what would generally be your highest level. Gradually increase the input level (clockwise) and monitor the Clip LED. If the Clip LED illuminates, slowly turn the Input Level counterclockwise until it stops or occasionally blinks. If the Clip LED does not light, your signal may be too low. Adjust the Input Level clockwise until the Clip LED illuminates, then counter-clockwise until it goes out or blinks. Ideally, you do not want this level to illuminate the Clip LED. You may have to tweak the control as you use it to find the best position. If you are still uncertain that your level is at its optimum setting, it is best to set it a little lower so that the Clip LED never comes on. NOTE: When in Mono mode, the LED works opposite to its when in Stereo mode. It stays on and blinks off when clipping occurs.

2. Low Cut

Removes the low frequency content of the signal to eliminate rumble and low frequency feedback. Pressing this button in (down position) activates the Low Cut and rolls the signal off at 75 Hz.
