Using the Audio Inputs

The PA-80 offers two Audio Inputs on the back panel. Each input is accompanied by a "trim" pot. These

knobs, located on the back panel, are used to control the amount of signal coming into the PA-80. These

inputs can be sent directly to the speakers or outputs of the PA-80, or they can be used with the Internal

Mixer. Routing these signals through the internal mixer will allow you to add effects and control the

levels of these signals.

Before plugging into these inputs, turn the trim pots all the way to the left (as you look at the back of the

PA-80).

Turn the MASTER VOLUME slider and the ASSIGN SLIDER controls all the way down before

you begin.

Plug your source (guitar, mic, whatever) into one the inputs. Turn the trim pots up slowly so

that the SIGNAL LED is constantly green when your source is making sound.

Now bring up the MASTER VOLUME to its normal level

The ASSIGN SLIDER control is set to control the volume of the Audio Inputs. Bring this

control up slowly to blend it with the sound of the PA-80.

If you hear no sound, return to the STYLE PLAY mode and be sure the AUDIO IN is not muted

in the DISPLAY. (A little Microphone Icon will appear if the track is not muted)

To exercise a bit more control over your external inputs select the GLOBAL Mode and press the MENU

button. Using the PAGE- and PAGE+ keys, scroll to page 14: GBL: AUDIO IN CFG. The options in this

page allow you to route the incoming External AUDIO IN signals in different ways. Only the first two

options are available without using the optional VHG1 Vocal Harmony Guitar interface card.

DIRECT: This option sends the Inputs of AUDIO IN 1 and AUDIO IN 2 directly to the output of

the PA-80.

1 / 2 INT FX: In this mode, the external AUDIO INPUTS pass through the Internal Effects

processors C and D before continuing on to the PA-80 outputs.

Again, use the PAGE+ key to move to page 15 of the GLOBAL commands. In the DISPLAY you will see

four parameters for each of the external AUDIO INPUTS.

IN VOLUME: Controls the volume of each INPUT

PAN: Changes the LEFT/RIGHT position of the INPUT

C SEND: This parameter controls the amount of the INPUT that is being sent to the Internal

Effects Processor "C"

D SEND: Performs the same function for Internal Effect Processor "D"

These parameters are identical and duplicated for each external AUDIO INPUT, 1 and 2.

To change any of these values, highlight the parameter using the Edit keys, and enter a new value using

the VALUE wheel.
