1. Mic/Line Input Level
This knob adjusts the gain of the Mic and Line inputs. Turn clockwise to
increase gain, or counter-clockwise to decrease gain. If the Vocal Signal LED
ladder reaches red while you sing, you need to decrease the Mic gain.
2. Mic/Line In
This is a combination Mic (XLR) and Line (1/4”) input and is the lead voice for
the Vocalist
®
Live 5. Connect a dynamic or condenser microphone here with
an XLR cable. If the mic signal is line level (coming from the output of a pre-
amp before the Vocalist Live 5), connect the line output of the preamp here
using a 1/4” balanced or unbalance cable.
3. Guitar In
Connect a guitar directly to this high-impedance input. Note that there is no
loss of quality between the Guitar In and Guitar Thru jacks.
4. Guitar Thru
Connect this output to the input of a guitar amplifier or mixer channel (if the
guitar uses active electronics).
5. Left Out and Right Out (XLR Outputs)
Connect these XLR balanced outputs to a powered speaker or mixer. XLR
outputs can be run in stereo (Stereo button on front panel is lit) or mono
(Stereo button is off). Either output can be used in mono mode.
6. Ground Lift
The XLR Ground Lift switch can be used to eliminate most hum and ground
loop noise problems when the VL5 is connected to a both a P.A. and a guitar
amp. If you hear a humming sound or buzz coming from your amp or P.A., try
pressing this button.
7. Line Out L/R
Connect both these balanced/unbalanced outputs to a mixer, powered speak-
ers or P.A. system. If only a single output is to be used, be sure the output
mode is set to Mono (Stereo button on front panel is off).
