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.
