output connections, use either XLR or 1/4” Line output.  

• Apply power to the ProVocal™.  Connect the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on

the back of the unit. Route the AC power cord to a convenient power outlet away from audio
lines. The unit may be turned on and off from the front panel power switch or from a mas-
ter equipment power switch.

• After all connections have been made, make the appropriate front panel line settings i.e.: Line

switch, 48Volt switch (and/or 20dB Pad), and adjust the Gain adjustment until the signal LED
lights, with the clip LED only lighting occasionally.
