Panel Descriptions - Akai HV 1 Operator's Manual

The HV1 Duo Buddy is an effect unit for the vocalist that adds a 1-voice harmony to the original vocal
sound. It enables you to add a harmony when you're playing self-accompanied or to add another voice
in unison to solo vocal to add thickness in a live stage. The presets of 12 harmony styles and additional
9 user styles that can be customized to your taste provide the optimum harmony for the various songs.
Its stomp box design like the guitar effects allows foot control for hands-free operation.
Further, the XLR In/Out connectors at microphone level allow the connection of HV1 in between the
mixer and microphone to be used immediately without changing any mixer settings. The true bypass
circuit design isolates the internal circuit completely when the effect is turned off. It outputs the microphone
sound without any tonal coloration.
