Page 2: Introduction
How many times have you heard, “Can I have a little more of me in the headphones?” or “I need more reverb on my vocals!” The HPFX system puts the performer in control of what he is hearing, and lets him change the monitoring level of his microphone, the level and type of effects applied, and the overall level of the backing tracks. -
Page 3: Installation
ART Customer Service for replacement. AUDIO CONNECTIONS Audio connections to and from the HPFX are balanced XLR (Pin 2 = Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-), Pin 1 = Ground) and unbalanced ¼” (Tip = Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground). We recommend using only high-quality shielded cables equipped with high-quality connectors. -
Page 4: Quick Setup
QUICK SETUP: Plug the AC adapter into the back of the HPFX and then into a wall socket. Make sure that the Stereo Mix Input Level switch (on the back of the unit) is in the out (Norm) position. You may need to depress this switch later, after the other setup steps are done, if you are using a very hot monitor signal. -

It is then sent to the headphone amp section and mixed with the line level stereo mix input signal.

Standard ¼” and XLR inputs and outputs make patching simple. POWER JACK INPUT An external 9 Volt AC adapter powers the HPFX. Plug the adapter into the PWR jack and then into a power outlet. Only use the adapter that came with the HPFX. If the adapter ever becomes damaged, immediately discontinue use. -
Page 8: Stereo Mix Input
The XLR Microphone Inputs are connected directly to the Mic Thru XLR jacks, so that your mic signal passes directly thru to your mixer or preamp input. The HPFX “looks” at the signals on these jacks for its own internal use, but does not modify them or provide phantom powering. -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION Once you have connected the HPFX to your system, familiarize yourself with its controls. Next, send audio, from your mixer or computer, to the Stereo Mix Inputs and adjust the headphone output levels for a comfortable monitor level. Then, increase the Mic Level controls until your vocal sounds balanced in the mix locally. -
