Mic Input Level (Mic)
Here’s how to adjust the level of the input from the microphone connected to the MIC IN jack on the rear panel.
Your voice will be distorted if the microphone input level is too high. Noise will be heard if the microphone input level is too low.
If your voice is distorted, or if there is too much noise, the VP-7 will have difficulty detecting the pitch, and it won’t be possible
to add harmonies cleanly.
To ensure that the harmonies are added as cleanly as possible, it’s important to adjust the microphone input level until it is as
high as you can get it without causing distortion to occur.
NOTE
If the input from the microphone is at too high a level, acoustic feedback could be produced, or the sound might continue
sounding endlessly. Adjust the level of the microphone’s input by following the procedure below.
1.
Vocalize into the microphone .
You should try to maintain a fixed distance between the microphone and your mouth.
2.
Note how the level (Tune) indicator is illuminated .
Level Significance of the indicator
Red Lights when the level of the signal from the microphone input is
too high.
Yellow Lights when the optimal signal level is being input via the micro-
phone input.
Green
Lights when a signal is input via the microphone input.
3.
Turn the [Mic] knob to adjust the input level .
Adjust the level so that the yellow indicator lights when you sing loudly.
MEMO
Once you’ve set the microphone input level, you should normally leave it untouched. Use the [Volume] knob to raise or lower
the volume.
