Diagrams

FX150

To give you clear and concise representations 
of what goes where, we have provided several 
connection diagrams in the “Connecting – aka  
“Exploring the ins and outs”” on page 11 sec-
tion. There are a few things we would like you to 
keep in mind as you follow these diagrams:

– Signal sources that go into your VoiceSolo 

FX150 (e.g. microphone or guitar) will always 
be shown to the 

left

 of the back panel image 

(1)

.

–  “Downstream” devices (mixers, speakers) will 

always be shown to the 

right

 of the back panel 

image 

(2)

.

–  There are two “call out” boxes on the left side 

of each diagram, showing whether or not the 
HI Z button and the FULL MIX/CH1 button are 
pressed.

Pressed 

Not pressed 

–  The box in the 

lower left corner

 shows what 

signals you will hear from your VoiceSolo 
FX150.

–  The box in the 

lower right corner

 shows what 

you will hear from your mixer / PA speakers. 
When we refer to a “P.A.” or a “mixer” in this 
manual, we actually mean any sound gather-
ing and sound producing sources. This could 
be anything from a “stick system” or a porta-
ble/all-in-one loudspeaker system to powered 
studio monitors or even a DAW recording in-
terface.

– In many cases, what you hear from the 

VoiceSolo FX150 headphone output and your 
PA will be the same 

(5)

 – but it can also be dif-

ferent.

–  Please note that we do not account for other 

inputs or instruments in these diagrams – so 
you won’t see pictures of drums 

(4)

 etc.

–  There are separate diagrams for hooking up 

TC-Helicon vocal processors. Some of our 
processors come with a headphone output 
and some don’t. We will try to account for 
both cases.

–  We have tried to put as many combinations 

and examples into our diagrams as possible, 
but we may have missed one or two. Using the 
complete set of diagrams, you should be able 
to create your own unique connection setup. 
Just bear in mind the key points, like whether 
you need to press the FULL MIX/CH1 button.
