1. CLIP LED
This LED is a sum of clipping from the MIC, LINE and AUX
inputs.
2. MIC IN level control
This control trims the gain for the microphone input. Adjust
this so that only the loudest notes you sing light the CLIP
LED periodically. If you find the CLIP LED is lighting even
with the MIC IN control at minimum, push the +20dB button
to the out position.
3. MONO / STEREO switch
This switch expands the capabilities of two VoiceSoloXTs
when operation as a stereo PA is desired. When the stereo
option is chosen (switch in), an audio signal received at the
RIGHT input on the I/O box is passed to another
VoiceSoloXT from the MIX output jack. The audio signal
received in the LEFT input is produced from the main
VoiceSoloXT. The OUTPUT control on the main unit
controls both levels. Choosing the mono option (switch out)
collapses the left and right inputs to mono.
4. The SHAPE control
This imposes a useful tone curve onto the MIC IN input. It
is intended to simulate the tone of a studio condensor mic
from a standard dynamic mic. It is not recommended for
use with bright mics such as condensers because too
much high frequency may result. At minimum position, the
SHAPE circuit is defeated and the mic is heard flat, at fully
clockwise, the SHAPE circuit is fully activated.
5. LINE IN level control
This sets the gain for the line input. Adjust this so that only
the loudest notes you play light the CLIP LED.
6. The LOW and HI EQ controls
These are basic high (12 kHz) and low (80 Hz) frequency
shelving controls. They can add warmth and bite to the
monitor sound which can be desirable. Be aware though,
that too much of either at loud volumes can result in
feedback or distortion.
7. The 75/150 Hz LOW CUT button
A low frequency filter is always engaged on VoiceSoloXT to
preserve amplifier power and to protect the speaker. You
have your choice of 75 Hz (switch out) which allows some
low frequency to be reproduced, or 150 Hz (switch in)
which rolls off low end to allow higher volume if required.
8. OUTPUT level control
This is the master control for all of the inputs.
9. POWER indicator
This lights when power is applied.
10. Tuned bass port
This enhances VoiceSoloXT’s output of low frequencies. It
is also useful as a handle when carrying the unit.
