Customizing Microphone Output

Using the HIGH/MID/LOW Controls

To adjust the sound of each connected microphone individually, use the HIGH/MID/LOW controls. These controls work similar to the graphic equalizer, enabling to for the enhancement/suppression of particular frequencies within each microphone channel.

•Adjust the HIGH control to increase/decrease sibilance.

•Adjust the MID control to increase/decrease presence.

•Adjust the LOW control to increase/decrease boom.

Using ECHO and REVERB Vocal Effects

Use the effect controls to add a sense of depth and spaciousness to the vocal signal.

ECHO

The ECHO effect adds depth to the vocals for a professional sound. To apply ECHO, follow the steps below:

•Set the MASTER EFFECT control to 5.

•For each mic channel where echo will be applied, set the EFX control to 5.

•Set the ECHO LEVEL control to 5.

•Set the ECHO DELAY and ECHO REPEAT controls to your liking.

•Set the ECHO LPF (low pass filter) to 5.

•Continue to make adjustments to the ECHO LEVEL/DELAY/REPEAT/LPF controls untill the ideal echo effect is achieved.

REVERB

The REVERB effect adds a sense of space to the vocals for a rich and professional sound. To apply REVERB, follow the steps below:

•Set the REVERB control to 3 as a starting point, and then adjust to your liking. After you have customized the ECHO and REVERB effects, you can control their application with the following controls:

•LEVEL MASTER control – Controls the overall effects level available to the microphone channels.

•EFX control – Controls the level of EFX (set by the LEVEL MASTER control)_applied to each microphone channel.

NOTE: The LEVEL MASTER and EFX controls adjust both ECHO and REVERB effects simultaneously.

Using the COMPRESSOR Feature

The built-in COMPRESSOR feature automatically reduces very loud microphone signals or “peaks,” preventing unfavorable sound levels from damaging your speakers, as well as your ears. When you notice a microphone channel’s PEAK indicator lighting repeatedly, or suspect there may be peaks in the microphone signal, use the compressor.

To apply compression, follow the steps below:

• Turn the COMP knob counter-clockwise to increase compression, and clockwise to disable compression.

During compression, the dB indicator LEDs will illuminate indicating how much the signal was compressed; reduced in output strength.
