Rear Panel Features

1. MAIN INPUT

This is a female XLR-type connector that accepts 

a balanced line-level signal from a mixing console or 

other signal source. See Appendix B for more  

information about this connector. 
 

2. LOOP OUT

This is a male XLR-type connector that produces 

exactly the same signal that is connected to the main  

input jack. Use it to daisy-chain several HD1221's  
together off the same signal source. See Appendix B for 

more information about this connector. 
 

3. VOICING MODE

This built-in 3-position voicing mode switch allows the 

HD1221 to be tailored for any sound application. 

 

    CONTOUR

 

Set the Voicing Mode switch to the ‘CONTOUR’  

 

position for low-level applications. This is the  

 

perfect setting when a little more low and high  

 

end is necessary. The LED next to the switch  

 

will illuminate yellow when ‘CONTOUR’ is the  

 

chosen voicing mode.

  NORMAL

 

This is the standard position of the switch,  

 

hence the name, ‘NORMAL’. It is ideal for most  

 

PA applications where the HD1221 will be  

 

cranked. Additionally, this is the recommended  

 

position when paired with a subwoofer. Of the  

 

three options, this is the most accurate voicing  

 

mode and should be used in the majority of  

 

applications. The LED next to the switch will  

 

illuminate green when ‘NORMAL’ is the chosen  

 

voicing mode.

  MONITOR

 

The ‘MONITOR’ position is designed for when  

 

the HD1221 will be used as a stage monitor,  

 

but it may also be utilized when you need the  

 

vocals to cut through a high-gain, high-output  

 

instrument (such as guitar). In this position,  

 

the low frequency is rolled off, while the    

 

mids and highs are tuned to cut through stage  

 

volume with as much gain before feedback  

 

as possible. The LED next to the switch will  

 

illuminate red when ‘MONITOR’ is the chosen  

 

voicing mode.
