Common.Configurations.

There are many ways to set up and use the Vocalist® Live Pro. Some common setup configurations 
are shown below. 

Important Note: The Vocalist Live Pro Main Out XLR outputs are line level outputs. Many mixers 
accept only mic levels on the XLR inputs. You will know this is the case if you find that you have 
to turn your Input Level completely down in order to avoid clipping at the mixer’s XLR input. To 
remedy this you will need to either use an XLR to ¼” cable or XLR to ¼” adapter on an XLR cable 
to plug into your mixer’s ¼” line inputs. Alternatively, you can use a Direct Injection (DI) box to 
provide a mic level signal to the mixer’s XLR inputs. 

1. Guitar and Mic with Footswitch and Expression Pedal

This configuration uses the guitar and microphone inputs. The guitar is plugged directly into the 
Vocalist Live Pro and then into a guitar effects device and then an amplifier. Remote functionality is 
achieved using the Footswitch and Expression Pedal inputs. The processed vocal and harmony voice 
signal is provided by the Main Out and connected to the PA Mixer.
