Owner’s Guide

10. MICROPHONE INPUT

You can plug a microphone into the microphone

INPUT

jack and use the sterling speaker system to amplify

your voice. The

MICROPHONE

volume knob can be used to adjust the volume level of the microphone.

IMPORTANT:

Before plugging a microphone into the microphone

INPUT

jack, be sure that the volume

knob labeled

VOLUME

and the

EXPRESSION PEDAL

are set to minimum volume. After plugging the micro-

phone in, speak directly into it and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable level.

Set the

REVERB

switch to the plus (+) side to have the reverb effect applied to the microphone output. Adjust

the reverb level, in the

GRAPHIC MIXER

section, to a level that sounds best to you. Set the switch to the minus

(-) side to have the microphone output reduce the reverb effect.
