Microphone Settings

This section lets you set parameters for various Effects that are applied to the microphone sound. You should make both
"Vocal" and "Talk" settings — "Vocal, " for your singing performance, and "Talk, " for making announcements between
songs, for example.
NOTE
These settings allow you to adjust EQ, Noise Gate and Compressor when "Vocal" is selected. To adjust Pan and Reverb/Chorus
settings for your singing voice, use the Mixer settings

Adjustment
NOTE
3 Band EQ EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which
4
can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument
features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for the microphone
sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency (Hz) and level (dB) via the
corresponding knobs on the display.
Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified
5
level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
On/Off
Th. (Threshold)
Compressor This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a
6
specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying
dynamics. It effectively "compresses" the signal, making loud parts softer, or vice versa.
