Getting started.
The Voice Machine VM-2 was designed with you in mind - easy to use
and loaded with features, you’ll need only a few minutes to set up and
begin operation. This user guide is full of valuable information — please
read it!
Charge the battery
The VM-2 is shipped with the battery fully charged. If stored for more than 3
months before your initial use, plug it in to top-off the battery. See “Charging the
battery,” pg 5.
1. Set up the PA system in front of your audience.
Proper set-up is important. For best sound distribution, elevate the unit 5-8 feet
on a speaker stand at a distance of least 20-30 feet from the closest listener.
Connecting a VM-2C Companion Speaker.
For expanded crowd coverage, connect one or two VM–2C
unpowered companion speakers to the speaker out jacks on
the rear panel of the Voice Machine.
Note: The speaker output is designed specifically for use with
the Voice Machine VM-2C companion speaker and SC50-2W or
SC100-2W cable — DO NOT use other type external speakers or
damage may result!
2. Plug a microphone or audio source into an input jack.
Connect a microphone, metronome or other playback source to the matching
input jack; turn down the corresponding vol-
ume knob before turning on the VM-2. (See
“Choosing an Input” on pages 6-7 for more
information on input selection.)
If using the optional wireless microphone
system, use the corresponding knob to con-
trol the volume.
Caution
:
The Voice Machine can generate very high sound pressure
levels which could be dangerous to listeners in close proximity to the front
horn. Do not turn the volume up high or press the siren button when listen-
ers are nearby. In addition, do not place the microphone close to the speaker
during operation which can cause a high pitched squeal known as feedback.
