Patch Connections
Connect the vocal mic into the Preamp. 1.
Run from the DriveBus out into your system. 2.
Connect the XLR output from the Preamp section into the Side 3.
Chain input on the Dynamics section. (Use an XLR to 1/4”
cable. Pin 2 of the XLR plug connects to the Tip of the 1/4”
TRS plug.)
Now, when someone sings into the vocal microphone, the
compressor will ‘duck’. Adjust the Threshold to make it duck just
the right amount.
