VocoPro ORANGE-300 - Manual (Page 16)

Microphone Operations
Connecting Microphones
Most standard dynamic microphones with a ¼" plug can be connected to the Orange-300. If you have a condenser
microphone that requires external phantom power, it should not be connected to the Orange-300 because the Mic jacks
do not have a 48V feed. If your condenser microphone uses a battery-powered pre-amplifier, it should have no problems.
To CONNECT a MICROPHONE to a microphone input:
1. Carefully insert a 1/4" microphone plug into one of the microphone channels
2. Ensure the cable is completely inserted in both the 1/4" jack and the microphone itself (if detachable)
Balancing a Microphone Channel
To BALANCE a MICROPHONE channel:
1. First adjust the MIC VOLUME control to approximately 50%
2. Then if necessary, use the EQ's LOW, MID and HIGH controls to fine-tuning
3. Start background music with the MUSIC VOLUME set at approximately 50%
4. Fine-tune each MIC CHANNEL as necessary till you get a clean balanced mix
5. Remember to compensate if the background music has striking volume changes. To do this, set the microphone
volume to a level that gives the singer latitude to increase their vocal velocity without sounding over-modulated
