87 Singing with a microphone
Setting up your voice tone
Quick Guide
5
Turn the MIC switch on, and slightly increase the MIC VOLUME level. Sing into the
microphone, and adjust the MIC GAIN until you achieve the correct settings.
6
When the AUDIO IN LED shows the correct input level, use the MIC VOLUME knob to set
the microphone volume in the mix.
Setting up your voice tone
You can add equalization, compression and gate to the microphone signal, to make your voice tonally
pleasant and dynamically even. While these effects cannot be considered a replacement for some
good training, they can fix a few common problems in a live context.
Hint: You can keep the
SHIFT button pressed, and
press the MIC button, to jump
to the Global Mic Setup page.
1
In case your voice is “boomy”, go to the Global > Mic > Global Setup page, by pressing
the GLOBAL button, then touching the Mic button in the display, and then (if it is not
selected) the Global Setup tab.
The Global Setup page appears in the display.
2
To filter out the “boominess”, use the “Low Cut Freq.” parameter and remove some bass
frequencies.
Start with the lowest frequency, and then try to up in case it does not solve the problem. In some
cases, boominess can be solved by singing a bit farther from the microphone.
Adjust the input level by using the MIC GAIN knob next to the RIGHT audio input. Sing into the
microphone, and watch at the AUDIO IN LED on the control panel – it ought to stay green. If it
goes orange too often (or even red), turn down the input gain; if it turns off too often, increase
the input gain. No hint of distortion should be heard in the audio system when you sing.
While you adjust the gain,
gradually increase the
Microphone volume, by
using the MIC VOLUME
knob.
