Microphone Operations

Connecting Microphones

Most standard dynamic microphones with a ¼" plug can be connected to the Orange-300. If you have a condenser microphone that requires external phantom power, it should not be connected to the Orange-300 because the Mic jacks do not have a 48V feed. If your condenser microphone uses a battery-powered pre-amplifier, it should have no problems.

To CONNECT a MICROPHONE to a microphone input:

1.Carefully insert a 1/4" microphone plug into one of the microphone channels

2.Ensure the cable is completely inserted in both the 1/4" jack and the microphone itself (if detachable)

Balancing a Microphone Channel

To BALANCE a MICROPHONE channel:

1.First adjust the MIC VOLUME control to approximately 50%

2.Then if necessary, use the EQ's LOW, MID and HIGH controls to fine-tuning

3.Start background music with the MUSIC VOLUME set at approximately 50%

4.Fine-tune each MIC CHANNEL as necessary till you get a clean balanced mix

5.Remember to compensate if the background music has striking volume changes. To do this, set the microphone volume to a level that gives the singer latitude to increase their vocal velocity without sounding over-modulated
