MIC1 LOW CUT: Cutoff frequency of the high-pass lter
(Microphone 1)
MIC1 LOW, MID, HIGH: EQ default settings for Microphone
1
Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob 1) [51] to select the parameter
(LOW, MID, HIGH).
Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of the 2)
selected parameter.
MIC2 LOW CUT: Cutoff frequency of the high-pass lter
(Microphone 2)
MIC2 LOW, MID, HIGH: EQ default settings for Microphone 2
Press the right PARAMETER knob 1) [45] to select the parameter
(LOW, MID, HIGH).
Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the value of the 2)
selected parameter.
ULTRAMIC 1 and 2:
The Ultramic processor is a 2-band compressor that reduces the
dynamic range of speech. The level of loud sounds is reduced
and the level of quiet sounds is raised. This decreases the diffe-
rence between the loudest and quietest passages. By splitting the
signal into two frequency bands, a thicker, more powerful sound
is achieved without the typical artifacts, such as pumping sound
or a loss of clarity.
The settings for both microphone signals are made separately.
That’s the reason for having two Ultramic pages. For Mic 1, select
the page “Ultramic 1” and choose “Ultramic 2” for Mic 2. The
parameters on both pages are identical so that they only have to
be described once.
You can see several level meters on the display. Three para-
meters of the compressor are adjustable plus you can also load
presets.
The meters:
MIC I Shows the input level
MIC 0 Shows the output level
COM Shows the compression ratio for the low (L) and high
(H) frequency band
EXP Shows the attenuation of the expander for the low (L)
or high (H) frequency band
Adjustable parameters
THRSH Threshold species the cutoff frequency of the Ult-
ramic processor
FREQ Adjusts the crossover frequency between the upper
and lower frequency band
EFFIC Efciency: Adjusts the level of compression
Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob 1) [51] to select the parameter
(THRSH, FREQ, EFFIC).
Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of the 2)
selected parameter.
Ultramic presets:
The following default settings can be loaded:
Turn the right PARAMETER knob 1) [45] to select the preset.
Press the PARAMETER knob to load the preset.2)
MIC FX page:
On the Mic FX page, you can select the type of effect you want
to use for the microphone signal. The following effects are
available:
Turn the right PARAMETER knob 1) [45] to select the preset.
Press the PARAMETER knob to load the preset.2)
Each effect can be modied in order to suit your individual taste.
Two parameters are available for this reason. The second para-
meter always adjusts the effect Dry/Wet Mix—this applies to all
effects.
Effect descriptions:
FLANGER: A anger effect occurs through frequency modu-
lation. You can adjust the speed of the LFO (Low Frequency
Oscillator).
PHASER is similar to a anger. Only this time around, modulation
is achieved through phase-shifting. You can adjust the speed of
the LFO.
DELAY is a signal delay. You can change the delay time (Time).
ECHO is similar to the delay effect, with the difference that the
delayed signal is repeated several times.
PITCH changes the pitch of the signal and therefore the pitch of the
vocalist’s and speaker’s voice. Shift is used to adjust the pitch.
BITCRUSHER reduce the digital resolution. The bit depth is
adjustable.
REVERB is a reverberation effect. Eight different types of rever-
beration are available. These are described in detail in Chapter
4.1.4.
Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob 1) [51] to select a parame-
ter.
Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of this 2)
parameter.
You can match the time parameter of the anger, phaser, delay
and echo effects to the beat by tapping the tempo with the left TAP
push button (50) as long as Mic Setup is displayed (MIC SETUP
push button [16] shines when active).
Exiting Mic Setup:
Press the ESC push button = [52] to exit Mic Setup.
